There is a four-day ceasefire between Israel and Hamas in the Gaza Strip, and today is the second of those days.

Among them were ten Thai people, thirteen Israelis, and one Filipino.

On Friday, the largest humanitarian convoy since the conflict began arrived in Gaza with food, gasoline, and medical supplies.

Israel declared that the northern part of the Strip was still a combat zone and forbade Gazans from returning there.

There were rumours that those attempting to enter Gaza from the north were fired upon. On October 7, 1,200 individuals were murdered in Hamas attacks, and around 240 more were taken prisoner.

Since then, Israel’s retaliation campaign has claimed the lives of almost 14,500 people, according to Gaza’s health ministry, which is governed by Hamas.
