00:00 These trucks and hundreds of others have brought much-needed relief to the Gaza Strip after
00:07 weeks of acute shortages.
00:09 But only limited quantities of aid have reached civilians in the north of the enclave, in
00:15 part due to the state of roads after the bombings.
00:20 Despite the pause, there has been almost no improvement in the access of residents in
00:24 the north to water, cooking gas, which has been entering daily from Egypt since the start
00:30 of the pause, has been available in the market at one distribution center in Khan Younis,
00:35 but in quantities that are well below the actual demand for the cooking gas.
00:40 Residents from northern Gaza, who had evacuated south during the fighting, returned as the
00:46 area was quiet, checking on the state of their homes and getting some of their belongings.
00:53 We are a peaceful people.
00:54 We'd like to live quietly and go back to our normal life.

01:13 Fuel in particular has come in small quantities due to concern from the Israelis that it would
01:18 be used by Hamas.
01:21 But this shortage means Gazans lack electricity for bakeries and for hospitals, but also that
01:27 the population has little access to clean water.
01:31 The World Health Organization says there's a high risk that infectious diseases could
01:36 spread.
