Saturday marks one year since the ceasefire in Gaza took effect. More than 100 aid and human rights groups say it has not brought real relief.

"The ceasefire exists in name only," the groups said in a joint statement Friday, Al Jazeera reported. They include Amnesty International, the Norwegian Refugee Council, Save the Children and Oxfam.

The groups said Israeli forces have killed more than 1,400 Palestinians, including at least 327 children, since the truce began on Oct. 10, 2025. Save the Children's chief executive, Inger Ashing, said nearly one child has been killed every day. "A ceasefire is meaningless if children are still being killed," she said.

Conditions remain grim, the groups said. None of Gaza's 36 hospitals is fully working. More than 18,500 patients need to leave Gaza for medical care, and more than 1,000 have died waiting. About 1.4 million people face crisis-level hunger or worse through the end of the year, and nearly 2 million need shelter as winter nears, Arab News reported.

Jan Egeland of the Norwegian Refugee Council said Israeli limits on building equipment and materials are blocking recovery. "It is utterly shameful that a full year after the ceasefire was signed, so little has improved," he said.

The groups also accused Israel of moving the "Yellow Line," the boundary set under the ceasefire, to squeeze Palestinians into less space.

The wider peace plan has stalled. Arab News said key parts of President Trump's 20-point plan, including Hamas disarming, a full Israeli pullback and rebuilding, have not happened. Israel still controls about two-thirds of Gaza.

Violence continued this week. At least eight Palestinians were killed in Israeli strikes on Thursday, Al Jazeera reported.

What we know: the groups' tolls and the stalled peace plan.
What we don't: when rebuilding, estimated at $71.4 billion, will begin.
