Live updates: Israel and Hamas agree to Gaza ceasefire and hostage deal

CNN  

Abdul Rahman Salama speaks during an interview with CNN. CNN Abdul Rahman Salama is one of thousands of Palestinians in Khan Younis, southern Gaza, struggling to salvage supplies during the harsh winter. The war between Israel and Hamas in Gaza has raged for 15 months, turning Gaza into a wasteland and displacing at least 90% of Palestinians since October 2023, according to the United Nations. The death toll is likely to be much higher, with one study published in The Lancet journal last week estimating more than 64,000 people were killed in Gaza between October 7, 2023 and June 30, 2024 alone. “I’m sad I won’t find them when I go home.” Noor, 12, said she has been displaced seven times during the war, and wants to see what happened to her school friend who she hasn’t heard from for a year after her home was destroyed.
