As the Israel-Hamas ceasefire holds for a third day, families in Gaza are cautiously returning home amidst rubble and resilience. The Rafah crossing — a vital humanitarian lifeline — has reopened, allowing trucks carrying food, medicine, and supplies to enter the region.
Homecoming Amid Ruins
Displaced residents shared emotional stories with CGTN reporters, describing mixed feelings of relief and grief as they assess damaged homes. 'We survived the bombs, but rebuilding feels impossible,' said one father of three, standing beside his collapsed apartment building.
Aid Efforts Accelerate
Over 120 aid trucks crossed into Gaza on Thursday, delivering urgent supplies to overwhelmed hospitals and shelters. UN officials warn the humanitarian crisis remains 'critical,' with water and electricity systems still crippled in many areas.
Hostages Receive Care
Meanwhile, released Israeli hostages are undergoing medical evaluations at Tel Aviv hospitals. Doctors report most show signs of malnutrition but are 'stable.' Families continue demanding answers about remaining captives.
While the ceasefire brings temporary calm, global leaders push for lasting solutions. Stay tuned as we track this evolving story.
