UNICEF: Gaza ceasefire a 'deadly illusion'

UNICEF has declared the Gaza ceasefire a 'deadly illusion,' reporting that Israeli forces have killed at least 265 Palestinian children since the ceasefire was established in October 2025. The UN agency for children emphasized that the ongoing violence continues to devastate Gaza's youngest population despite the truce. The statement highlights the failure of the ceasefire to protect civilians, particularly children, and calls for immediate international action to ensure their safety.
