Aid deliveries lag

U.S. President Donald Trump’s plan to end the Gaza war has stalled as fighting continues between Israel and Hamas in the Gaza Strip.
The Oct 10 2025 ceasefire secured the release of the last hostages taken in the 2023 Hamas attacks.
Aid deliveries average 227 trucks per day, far below the 600-truck minimum in the plan.
Israeli forces now control roughly two-thirds of Gaza, exceeding the plan’s 53% target.

NGOs Question Ceasefire

U.S. President Donald Trump’s plan to end Gaza war has stalled as fighting continues between Israel and Hamas in Gaza.
Over 100 NGOs such as Amnesty International and Save the Children say ceasefire is only on paper while civilians face killings, injuries and aid restrictions.
Israeli attacks have killed over 1,400 Palestinians, including 327 children, since the ceasefire.
Gaza’s 36 hospitals operate below capacity due to equipment and fuel shortages.

Blindspot

The October 10 2025 ceasefire secured the release of the final hostages captured in the 2023 Hamas attacks and facilitated an exchange of hundreds of Palestinian prisoners for those hostages, according to the Center sources.
Within this story's sources, this angle appears mainly in Center-leaning coverage and receives less attention in Left-leaning coverage.

History

Historical Context

The 2005 Israeli disengagement from Gaza, executed under Prime Minister Ariel Sharon and U.S. President George W. Bush, removed all Israeli settlements. The withdrawal involved 8,000 Israeli soldiers, 21,000 settlers, and transferred $1.5 billion in compensation to over displaced families in the Gaza Strip. Similarly, President Donald Trump’s 2025 cease-fire plan limits Israeli control to 53% of Gaza and demands 600 aid trucks daily, echoing earlier enclave-shaping efforts. The 2005 disengagement’s mixed outcomes—temporary calm followed by Hamas’s 2007 takeover—warn that diplomatic ceasefires often falter without sustained enforcement and reconstruction.
