During the ceasefire, more medical supplies and other aid have reached Gaza, allowing some hospitals to resume treatments such as dialysis. For the first time in seven weeks since the airstrikes, emergency rooms are not overwhelmed with trauma patients.
Gaza residents were able to go out to buy necessities, but lines were long and supplies were in short supply. Some returned to their homes to check on the safety of their surviving relatives or to bury their dead.
On Friday, the ceasefire collapsed and Israel resumed air strikes across Gaza.
“That moment of feeling safe is over,” said Yousef Hamash, an advocacy officer for the Norwegian Refugee Council in Gaza. “We don’t know what’s in store for us. It feels like we’re going to hell again.”
