Preparations begin to ramp up aid in Gaza as ceasefire brings hope for end to 2-year war
- On Oct 12, a ceasefire held and preparations were underway on Sunday to free hostages and Palestinian prisoners in Gaza, with Israel ready to receive released captives.
- The ceasefire began on Friday following a two-year war triggered by Hamas’s Oct. 7, 2023 attack and was mediated by the United States, Egypt, Qatar and Turkey.
- Hamas has informed mediators it will release roughly 20 living hostages, while Israel will free around 2,000 Palestinian detainees, with 250 names released by the Israeli Ministry of Justice.

- The conflict displaced about 90% of Gaza’s two million residents, while U.N. agencies warned of famine in northern Gaza, making reconstruction efforts a daunting challenge.
