Families in Gaza described Sunday’s ceasefire with Israel as a “glimmer of hope in a cycle of death” as they celebrated what they hope marks the end of Israel’s ferocious bombardment of the strip, which has killed over 46,000 people.
As the long-awaited truce between Hamas and Israel came into effect at 11am on Sunday, families were filmed travelling on foot, in donkey carts and cars through wastelands of destruction, many searching for the remains of their homes.
