Hamas has announced a new phase in Gaza focused on rebuilding after Israeli aggression, emphasizing reconstruction, solidarity, and aiding vulnerable groups like orphans. Humanitarian aid continues to flow into Gaza, addressing urgent needs like healthcare, food, water, and shelter, with many families living in makeshift shelters amidst rubble. The UN reported over 90% of housing units in Gaza have been damaged or destroyed, calling for increased funding and support for aid operations.
Following a ceasefire agreement on January 19, brokered by Qatar, Egypt, and the U.S., aid deliveries have increased, with 915 trucks entering Gaza on Monday. The ceasefire includes phased hostage exchanges and prisoner releases. The conflict between Hamas and Israel, which began on October 7, 2023, has caused approximately 47,000 Palestinian and 1,200 Israeli deaths and significant destruction in Gaza
