There is a ceasefire on paper in Gaza. But in reality, Gazans are being killed on a near-daily basis by Israeli forces. Since the October 2025 ceasefire agreement, more than 1,000 Gazans have been killed in Israeli strikes. Five Israeli soldiers have been killed as Israel seeks to expand its footprint inside Gaza. Meanwhile, humanitarian aid and goods are entering Gaza only in a trickle — far from what is required and what was expected under that October deal.

Joining me from Ramallah is Bushra Khalidi, Global Humanitarian Policy Lead for Oxfam International. We kick off by discussing the current conflict dynamics in Gaza and humanitarian conditions inside the Strip before having a longer conversation about why a new status quo seems to be setting in — and why that is unsustainable.
