A truck with humanitarian aid enters Gaza from the Egyptian side of the Rafah border crossing, on Feb. 4, 2025. Israel and Hamas reached a three-stage ceasefire deal in January, mediated by Egypt, Qatar, and the United States, after more than 15 months of fighting in Gaza. The initial stage effective Jan. 19 lasts for six weeks and includes a limited exchange of Israeli hostages and Palestinian prisoners, increased aid into Gaza, and a partial withdrawal of Israeli troops from the enclave.
