Gaza's Displaced Face Perils Amidst Temporary Cease-fire

The humanitarian pause in fighting between Israel and Hamas has brought limited relief to residents of Gaza, as they face a hellscape of destruction and struggle to meet basic needs. Displaced families attempt to salvage their shattered lives, while others remain fearful to flee. The pause has allowed for some aid to enter Gaza, but conditions remain dire, with limited access to food, water, and healthcare. Efforts to dig out loved ones from under rubble and check on homes and relatives have been met with new dangers and challenges. Disagreements over aid deliveries have led to a delay in prisoner swaps, and access to certain areas remains blocked off by the Israeli military.
