Bombs stop falling in Gaza but life remains difficult for many.
Even as a ceasefire brings a pause to fighting, Gazans are facing immense challenges. Many have returned to find their homes destroyed, with over 20,000 buildings damaged or destroyed. Families are reuniting, but the scale of ruin presents a stark reality.
The truth behind the quiet is devastating for families.
Despite the end of bombing, daily struggles persist for people in Gaza. The need for basic supplies and shelter is immense. People see little to celebrate, even with the cessation of hostilities.
Over 37,000 Palestinians have been killed since the conflict began. This highlights the profound human cost. Mass Friday prayers are being held again in mosques, some of which are damaged.
The situation shows how much rebuilding is needed. Experts are concerned about the long-term impact on communities. Future aid efforts will be crucial for recovery.
