Ceasefire Is Largely One-Sided
- The so-called ceasefire is largely one-sided and not a real halt to killing.
- Rashid Khalidi frames it as a fiction that trades overt destruction for limited, controlled relief.
Civilian Deaths Continue After Ceasefire
- Killings have decreased but continue at a deadly rate and mostly hit civilians.
- Khalidi highlights independent estimates showing extremely high cumulative death tolls and ongoing daily deaths.
Winter Aid Is Intentionally Restricted
- Aid and winter shelter have not arrived at the scale promised, causing needless suffering.
- Khalidi emphasizes blocked tents, fuel, and equipment that leave two million people exposed to cold and storms.
