Rep. Sean Casten introduced the Ceasefire Compliance Act of 2026 — a bill that would prohibit the use of US-origin weapons in Gaza and the West Bank unless Israel meets a defined set of compliance conditions verified by the State Department.
Israeli forces shot a woman and two children near displacement tents outside the declared ceasefire boundary in Khan Yunis. UNRWA reports that 90% of Gaza’s schools have been damaged or destroyed — and the facilities that remain are functioning as shelters, not classrooms.
Gaza’s confirmed death toll has passed 72,000, with 576 more Palestinians killed since the October ceasefire took effect — a ceasefire Israeli forces have violated more than 1,500 times. Researchers say the actual toll may be far higher, with bodies still buried beneath the rubble.
UNICEF reports that at least 37 children have been killed in Gaza since January 1, 2026 — adding to the more than 100 children killed during the three months following the October ceasefire. The agency warns conditions remain ‘extremely fragile and deadly’ for children across the territory.
The head of the Geneva Academy of International Humanitarian Law says Gaza’s population has declined by more than 10% since October 2023 — an indicator that implies a death toll potentially exceeding 200,000, far beyond the 72,000 bodies recovered and confirmed.
United Voices condemns Israeli airstrikes that killed approximately 30 Palestinians, including children, warning that continued civilian deaths during a declared ceasefire undermine its credibility.
The UN says 230,000 women and girls in Gaza — including 15,000 pregnant women — have almost no access to reproductive healthcare due to Israeli attacks on health facilities, forced displacement, and aid restrictions that continue despite a ceasefire.

Winter storms have flooded or destroyed more than 42,000 tents in Gaza, affecting 235,000 people. UNRWA’s chief says the consequences are ‘man-made’ — the result of two years of destruction and Israel’s continued refusal to allow aid at the agreed scale.
