Nickolay Mladenov warned that nearly daily ceasefire breaches hinder Gaza's transitional committee, urging an end to violations and more aid amid stalled Hamas disarmament efforts.
On Friday, Nickolay Mladenov, U.N. envoy and high representative for Gaza for the U.S.-established Board of Peace, warned ceasefire violations obstruct the Palestinian transitional committee's postwar governance role.
Hamas has not handed over institutional control, and the ceasefire calls for it to lay down arms and for an international security force to deploy, but there has been no visible progress on either.
Israel has continued strikes in response to alleged truce breaches, with Palestinian militants attacking Israeli forces; Gaza health officials report 591 Palestinians and four Israeli soldiers killed amid repeated airstrikes near military-held zones.
Dozens of unidentified bodies were buried in Deir al-Balah after Israel transferred 54 bodies and 66 boxes earlier this month, with only one identified and no DNA testing allowed.
