The ceasefire between Israel and Hamas marked one year on 10 October 2026 with 1,477 Palestinians killed and 5,205 wounded since it took effect, according to the count by the Gaza Ministry of Health cited by El País and treated as a reference by the United Nations.
The agreement, approved by the Israeli cabinet in the early hours of 10 October 2025 as part of the 20-point plan pushed by US President Donald Trump, provided for a partial withdrawal of troops and the entry of 600 aid trucks per day. According to Al Jazeera, a UN Security Council resolution recognized the Board of Peace in November as the transitional administration in the Strip, with the mission of stabilizing the territory until the handover to the Palestinian Authority. For Mexico and Latin America the file matters through the multilateral channel: the indicators behind the assessment come from bodies of the United Nations system, and the arrangement sets a precedent for how the governance of a territory in conflict is delegated.
The data trace the pattern. According to Al Jazeera, the IPC hunger monitor reports that about 227 aid trucks enter per day against the 600 planned, and that 1.4 million people will face hunger at least until December, 200,000 more than in May. At the Board's first summit, held in Washington in February, its members pledged 7 billion dollars, while aid agencies estimate reconstruction at close to 70 billion. The Norwegian Refugee Council calculates that 1.6 million Gazans face a fourth winter in tents, with 15 weekly trucks of shelter material from Jordan. A hundred organizations, led by Save the Children, maintain that the truce "exists only on paper," in the words of its executive director, Inger Ashing, cited by El País.
The move to the second phase remains conditioned on Hamas's disarmament, while Hamas demands first an end to the attacks and an Israeli withdrawal; Israel maintains it will not leave without that disarmament. The National Committee for the Administration of Gaza operates from Cairo without an entry permit, and the 20,000-strong force has yet to deploy.
