The United Nations said Friday that Palestinians in Gaza remain unsafe despite a cease-fire, with hundreds killed in ongoing Israeli attacks since the truce took effect.
U.N. High Commissioner for Human Rights Volker Turk said at least 738 Palestinians have been killed since the cease-fire began on Oct. 10, 2025, including 32 deaths recorded since early April, according to figures from the Palestinian Ministry of Health.
"The unrelenting pattern of killings reflects continuing disregard for Palestinian lives, enabled by sweeping impunity,” Turk said in a statement.
He noted a persistent pattern of strikes and shootings affecting civilians in homes, shelters and public spaces over the past 10 days, including incidents in tents housing displaced families, on streets and in vehicles, as well as at a medical facility and a classroom.
Among those killed were women, children, people with disabilities, a humanitarian contractor and a journalist, he said.
