Ceasefire breaks in Gaza, leaving another 142,000 Palestinians displaced

Following the collapse of the ceasefire in Gaza, another 142,000 Palestinians have been forced to leave their homes, according to the United Nations Relief and Works Agency (UNRWA). The agency stated that this new displacement occurred between March 18 and 23. UNRWA said in its statement, "Since the war in Gaza began, nearly 1.9 million people, including thousands of children, have been forced to flee their homes repeatedly, falling victim to wave after wave of bombardment, terror and devastation."

Additionally, the agency stated that it met a child in March 2024 and saw the same child again at the end of March 2025. UNRWA has demanded a ceasefire for that child and all other children. Israel broke the two-month ceasefire by launching attacks in Gaza on March 18. So far, 50,600 Palestinians have been killed, the majority of whom are women and children.

Meanwhile, the International Criminal Court (ICC) issued arrest warrants last November for Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu and his former defense minister Yoav Gallant on charges of war crimes and crimes against humanity. In addition, Israel is currently facing a genocide case at the International Court of Justice (ICJ) over its offensive in Gaza.
