Is the ceasefire in Gaza still active?

Asked 4 hours ago

Answer

The ceasefire in Gaza is fragile and marked by ongoing violations from both sides. While large-scale fighting has subsided, isolated violence, airstrikes, and humanitarian challenges persist. Israeli and Hamas officials accuse each other of ceasefire breaches, and many Palestinians remain fearful that conflict could resume. Humanitarian aid is insufficient, and the situation remains unstable, with no clear indication of a fully active or lasting ceasefire.
