Al Jazeera StaffAl Jazeera reports that Gaza residents say they live with 'pervasive fear' despite the ceasefire formally in effect. A family told the broadcaster they hesitate to send their children to school and find it hard to sleep. The Israeli military said it conducted air strikes in northern Gaza City over the past 24 hours.
The Israeli government described the strikes as targeting specific military objectives, while the Hamas-run health ministry said at least 11 people were killed. The United States and Egypt have proposed a technical coordination mechanism to monitor implementation of the ceasefire. Humanitarian groups have renewed calls to keep aid corridors open.
The UN Office for the Coordination of Humanitarian Affairs reiterated its call to reduce obstacles to food distribution in Gaza. Watch the Cairo talks scheduled in Egypt in the coming weeks and whether a ceasefire monitoring mechanism is set up. Ground-level tensions have persisted at this elevated level for weeks.
