”There is no ceasefire. The term ceasefire is just a way to distract the world. We die every day; we sacrifice every day. Who do we go to? Every day our families die. People are afraid to let their children go out into the street. Why are people dying in the street? For whose sake? No one cares about us. We are dying, we are dying every day.”

STORYLINE:
Israeli strikes killed four people and injured several others in the Gaza Strip on Thursday, local health officials said.
”There is no ceasefire. The term ceasefire is just a way to distract the world. We die every day; we sacrifice every day," said Mohammad Hamad, a displaced man in Gaza City.
In three separate strikes in Gaza City, three men were killed, according to Shifa hospital that received the casualties.
Another person died following a strike on a tent sheltering displaced Palestinians in southern Gaza and was taken to Nasser hospital in Khan Younis.
Israel's military said Thursday's strikes targeted Hamas militants.'
The official in charge of President Donald Trump’s ceasefire plan for Gaza criticized Israel on Wednesday for its attacks on the war-battered Palestinian territory and warned that the alternative to the U.S. proposal is the next war.
Nickolay Mladenov, head of Trump’s Board of Peace, admonished Israel during a United Nations gathering over its continued attacks on Wednesday.
The militant group Hamas has agreed to the proposal’s key provision to disarm and turn Gaza over to civilian rule, he said.
But Israel’s ongoing strikes since last October’s ceasefire are still killing Palestinians — though much fewer — and Gazans can’t feel that the conflict is ending, he said.
Israel’s deputy U.N. ambassador, Noa Furman, told the U.N. Security Council on Wednesday that Israel is committed to Trump’s peace plan, but that Hamas’ “disarmament must come first."
A recent U.S. deal with Hamas to disarm was seen as a potential breakthrough to end the war, which was sparked by the militant group’s deadly Oct. 7, 2023, attacks in southern Israel.
But Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu said his forces won’t withdraw from their current lines in Gaza until Hamas has handed over all its weapons.
