Humanitarian Aid Enters Gaza as Ceasefire Brings Temporary Relief
War-weary Gazans have begun returning to their destroyed homes following the start of a truce between Israel and Hamas Sunday, though the ceasefire began three hours later than planned.
Thousands of displaced residents carrying personal belongings headed back to neighborhoods reduced to rubble after over a year of intense conflict.
Humanitarian aid trucks, including those carrying prefabricated homes and fuel, started entering Gaza, where food, shelter, and water are desperately needed.
The first trucks carrying aid have entered Gaza through the Rafah crossing as part of the implementation of the ceasefire deal between Israel and Hamas.
