Experts discuss how long rebuilding Gaza's $18.5 billion of damaged infrastructure could take after 15 months of conflict.

Despite a ceasefire, Israeli authorities have detained 11 US medical professionals in Gaza, preventing their departure.

Israel has confirmed that it will maintain control over the Rafah border crossing, the key passage between Egypt and the Gaza Strip.

Nada, who had escaped Gaza with her wounded father, Thabet, almost a year ago, was desperate to go back to see her mother and five siblings who have been living in a small garage since their house in Gaza City was destroyed in December, 2023.
