A recent glimmer of hope initiated a display of humanity on both ends of the Gaza conflict; Hamas set free 24 captives previously held in Gaza while Israel reciprocated by liberating 39 Palestinians serving sentences.

This event, which took place within the framework of a preliminary four-day ceasefire, has brought a momentary burst of joy to both sides. Among those released from the Gaza stranglehold were 13 Israeli women and children, where the majority of the women were aged over 70, and a 2-year-old marked the youngest freeing. Relief was also found by ten individuals from Thailand and a Filipino who were likewise freed from captivity.

For the inhabitants of Gaza, most notably the 2.3 million Palestinians, this ceasefire brought the first respite from the relentless assault they had been enduring.

The onslaught had left these people grappling with the aftermath of destruction which included the displacement of three-quarter of the population from their homes and wiped out residential areas. Alongside the ceasefire, the previously incessant rocket attacks on Israel, carried out by militants in Gaza, also saw their abrupt end.

One of the significant aspects of this ceasefire has been a wave of humanitarian assistance pouring into Gaza. This includes the rolling in of essential supplies like food, water, pharmaceutical supplies, and fuel. However, the short-term nature of the truce has restrained the sense of relief, keeping Gaza's humanitarian crisis alive and under the looming threat of resumed warfare.
