Win Without War, a network of organizations advocating for a more peaceful, progressive U.S. foreign policy, has released a report on the ongoing military and humanitarian crisis in Gaza since the October 2025 ceasefire agreement between Israel and Hamas. 

The report details shortages of food, medicine, and humanitarian supplies in Gaza, “not because the aid doesn’t exist, but because the Israeli government is deliberately restricting or blocking it from entering Gaza.” The organization is also highlighting ongoing Israeli military action in Gaza. According to a UN report released last month, 981 Palestinians were killed, and another 3,104 were injured in Gaza between the ceasefire agreement and early June of 2026. 

Additionally, a UN agency tasked with humanitarian aid to Gaza continues to house 76,000 displaced persons in more than 100 collective emergency shelters. This represents a small fraction of the 2.1 million displaced Palestinians being housed in encampments around the region. “The ceasefire agreement has slowed the violence,” the report says. “But the Israeli government is still killing people in Gaza.”

Win Without War points to the absence of Palestinian input in the U.S. and Israeli stated commitments to end the conflict and rebuild Gaza. The “Board of Peace,” created by U.S. President Donald Trump to implement the ceasefire agreement, comprises U.S. officials and representatives of nations in the region, but no Palestinians.

“The board creates opportunities for political insiders and wealthy allies to profit from destruction and displacement,” the report says. “While the board is presented as a humanitarian intervention, in reality it normalizes indefinite external control of Gaza and it takes agency away from Palestinians.”
