Drone footage reveals extent of Gaza's devastation during Israel-Hamas truce

In the drone footage captured after Israel attacked Gaza, the scale of destruction in Gaza is laid bare.

The camera glides over East Khan Yuni neighbourhood, revealing street after street of collapsed buildings, with smoke still rising from the remnants of what were once homes and businesses. Large residential blocks stand tilting dangerously or have completely crumbled, a stark testament to the intensity of the warfare.

Amidst this backdrop of ruin, a fragile hope emerges as Israel and Hamas agree to extend their truce.

This extension, a brief respite in a seven-week war that has seen thousands killed and widespread devastation, offers a chance for further negotiations and the delivery of much-needed humanitarian aid.
