How Gaza feels after six months of ceasefire
About this episode
The episode explores the current situation in Gaza and Israel six months after a ceasefire, highlighting the challenges faced by residents and the context of Israel's Independence Day celebrations.
We mark this moment in both Gaza and Israel. In Gaza, it has been six months since major hostilities with Israel ended. Aid for the territory’s two million residents has resumed but it isn’t sufficient and reconstruction has yet to begin. We hear from some residents about their lives today. And Israel celebrates its Independence Day during a rare pause in three conflicts: Gaza, Iran and Lebanon. It is the Gaza war that is the major theme for the country’s official celebration.
