"For Gaza resident Yassir Shaheen, nights were the hardest part of living through Israel's devastating two-year war on the enclave. Many nights, we lay awake, our lips dry, our hearts pounding in fear, feeling as though the sky itself was collapsing on us, he told Al Jazeera. The Strip lies in tatters its economy destroyed, infrastructure in ruins, and its people displaced, as a fragile US-brokered truce barely holds. More than 68,000 Palestinians have been confirmed killed, with some 10,000 still buried under the rubble,"
"Even bread can feel out of reach, Shaheen, the team lead for the charity Humanity First UK in Gaza, revealed.

On Thursday, Gaza's Government Media Office said Israel has only allowed 4,453 trucks to enter,"
Gaza lies in tatters: economy destroyed, infrastructure in ruins, and most residents displaced after a two-year war. More than 68,000 Palestinians have been confirmed killed, with roughly 10,000 still buried under rubble. UN estimates indicate 92 percent of residential buildings have been damaged or destroyed, producing between 55 and 60 million tonnes of rubble. Humanitarian access remains severely constrained: only 4,453 trucks were allowed to enter, about one-quarter of the daily amount under the ceasefire, and prices for basic goods remain six to ten times higher, rendering essentials often unreachable. Schools, clinics, shops, and homes have been largely destroyed.
