A trauma surgeon's firsthand account of conditions in Gaza underscores the ongoing humanitarian crisis ten months into a ceasefire, the Guardian reported. Israel and Hamas remain deadlocked over the terms of a permanent settlement, with Israel demanding Hamas's complete disarmament before ending military operations in the territory.
Hamas has refused to begin disarming until its own conditions are satisfied, creating a standoff that has prevented movement toward a formal peace agreement. The ceasefire has reduced large-scale fighting but has not resolved the fundamental disagreements between the two sides or established a framework for lasting resolution of the conflict.
