What is happening in Gaza now?

Asked 12 hours ago

Answer

Gaza is experiencing severe shortages of food, water, and shelter despite a recent ceasefire. Aid deliveries remain limited, with Israel restricting the number of trucks allowed in and many entry points closed. Residents face rising prices, destroyed homes, and a lack of basic necessities as winter approaches. Hostage and prisoner exchanges continue, but humanitarian needs remain largely unmet.
