UN Human Rights Chief: Gaza Remains Unsafe Six Months After Ceasefire Announcement

UN High Commissioner for Human Rights Volker Türk issued a statement on April 25, 2026, declaring that Palestinians across Gaza remain unsafe six months after the ceasefire announcement, condemning Israel's continued daily strikes as ceasefire violations. The IRC separately warned that 'Gaza's deepening humanitarian catastrophe cannot be forgotten as the world's attention shifts away,' noting the parallel Iran conflict is diverting global focus from Gaza. OCHA's April 23 situational report documented 22 Palestinians killed in the week of April 15–21 alone, and noted that while aid volumes improved (17,400 pallets offloaded April 14–20 vs. 7,400 the prior week), supplies remain far below the 600+ trucks/day threshold needed.
