As the ceasefire holds, displaced Palestinians in the Gaza Strip continue to live a difficult life, with limited aid and poor living conditions across the enclave.

A U.S.-brokered ceasefire went into effect on Oct. 10, aimed at winding down the deadliest and most destructive war ever fought between Israel and the Palestinian militant group, Hamas.

But many daily struggles, big and small, persist — from how to put an actual roof over one’s head and what to wear as winter approaches, to how to secure proper food.

The fighting has caused vast destruction, displacement and suffering in Gaza.

It has displaced around 90% of the Gaza population of some 2 million, often multiple times.

In the Oct. 7, 2023, attack that sparked the war, Hamas-led militants abducted 251 people, and killed around 1,200.

Israel responded with a sweeping military offensive that has killed more than 68,800 Palestinians in Gaza, according to Gaza’s Health Ministry, which doesn’t distinguish between combatants and civilians.

The ministry, part of the Hamas-run government and staffed by medical professionals, maintains detailed records viewed as generally reliable by independent experts.

Israel, which has denied accusations by a U.N. commission of inquiry and others of committing genocide in Gaza, has disputed the ministry’s figures without providing a contradicting toll.
