For many residents, the pause in fighting has offered a rare chance to return to shattered neighborhoods, salvage belongings, and reconnect with loved ones.

Humanitarian agencies are rushing to deliver aid to communities that have endured famine, displacement, and relentless bombardment.

For now, Gaza’s streets echo with a fragile silence—an uneasy reminder that peace, though desperately needed, remains precarious.
