Palestinians in the war-torn Gaza Strip are still struggling to feed their families even after aid has flooded into the coastal enclave since the ceasefire between Hamas and Israel took effect last month.

The truce that began nearly four weeks ago had been jeopardized in recent days by a tense dispute that threatened to renew the fighting.

President Donald Trump's assertion that the U.S. can relocate "1.7 or 1.8 million" Palestinians has raised questions about the death toll in Gaza. Trump made the comments last week while announcing a surprise plan to take over the region that has been devastated by the Israel-Hamas war that began in October 2023.
