"The White House says this next phase will demilitarize Gaza and establish a new Palestinian administration. It will also pave the way for reconstruction."
"It's been nearly a hundred days since President Trump declared an end to the war in Gaza, but survivors here are still burying their dead, and everywhere you look are the wounded. Most people are living in makeshift tents or bombed-out buildings. Babies have died in cold and have been families crushed under collapsing walls."
"we thought we'd be flooded with aid, that the border crossing would be open, but the situation is worse than we would have imagined."
"Gaza's border with Egypt needs to open for people to come and go. Without that, it's all talk,"
The U.S. announced a second phase of a ceasefire aiming to demilitarize Gaza, establish a new Palestinian administration, and enable reconstruction. Gaza residents report severe ongoing suffering nearly 100 days after the war’s formal end, including deaths, injuries, makeshift shelters, and destroyed homes. Many hoped for open border crossings and more aid but see little progress. Israeli forces continue to occupy parts of eastern Gaza with daily explosions and drone activity, and Palestinians report home demolitions. Israeli ministers press to keep the Egypt crossing closed until the last Israeli hostage’s body is found and returned.
