Gaza, December 28 (QNA) - The Israeli occupation army has committed 969 ceasefire violations after 80 days since the ceasefire agreement came into force, the Gaza Government Media Office has reported.

In a statement issued Sunday, the office said these breaches resulted in 418 Palestinian fatalities and 1,141 injuries, in addition to the detention of 45 Palestinians, warning that the Gaza Strip is gripped by a slow death as the humanitarian crisis continues to deepen.

Since Oct. 10 until today, the Israeli army has committed serious and systematic violations of the deal, constituting a clear breach of international humanitarian law and a deliberate undermining of the ceasefire and the provisions of the attached humanitarian protocol, the statement read.

It said that 289 incidents of direct gunfire against Palestinian civilians were documented, in addition to 54 military incursions into residential areas and 455 shelling and targeting incidents against unarmed civilians and their homes.

The statement further indicated that during the 80-day period, Israel committed 162 cases of razing homes, institutions, and civilian facilities.

The Media Office stressed that the Israeli army has failed to comply with the minimum agreed quantities of humanitarian aid, noting that only 19,764 aid trucks rolled into Gaza over 80 days out of 48,000 trucks that were supposed to enter, averaging 253 trucks per day instead of the agreed 600 trucks daily.

It warned of acute shortages of food, medicine, water, and fuel, further worsening the catastrophic humanitarian conditions in the enclave.

The statement added that only 425 fuel trucks rolled into Gaza during the same period, out of 4,000 fuel trucks that were supposed to enter under the deal, averaging five trucks per day instead of 50, representing a compliance rate of around 10 percent.

Arbitrary Israeli policies, combined with weather depression systems engulfing Gaza at the onset of winter, led to the collapse of 49 homes and buildings that had previously been damaged or bombed, killing as many as 20 people as buildings collapsed on them after they had sought shelter there following the destruction of their original homes, the office warned.

It added that three Palestinians remain languishing under bombed-out buildings due to weather depression and had previously been targeted by Israeli bombardments.

The statement further reported the deaths of two children from severe cold inside displacement tents, while over 127,000 tents are now out of service and no longer able to provide minimum protection for over 1.5 million displaced people.

The Hamas-Israel ceasefire deal came into effect in October, following the withdrawal of Israeli forces from populated areas of the Gaza Strip and the beginning of the return of displaced residents to northern Gaza, as part of the first phase of US President Donald Trump's initiative to end the war on Gaza.
