Egypt facilitated a temporary ceasefire, allowing 200 trucks daily, carrying aid and fuel into Gaza. In exchange, Hamas released 50 Israeli hostages, with more to follow. Mediated by Egypt and Qatar, this agreement responds to the abduction of 240 individuals by Hamas, aiming to ease tensions. Aid convoys entered Gaza; however, limitations persist despite Israel's allowance of aid trucks and fuel, prompting international concerns about Gaza's humanitarian crisis.
