A: Hey there! Got any news?
B: Not really, why do you ask?

A: Well, it seems there's a ceasefire between Israel and Hamas now on its second day.
B: Really? That's good to hear! But I wonder what's happening in Gaza then...

A: Yeah, people are returning to their neighborhoods, but the damage from two years of conflict is huge.
B: Wow, that's terrible! It sounds like Khan Younis city and its surroundings are almost completely destroyed.

A: Exactly, they say 85% of it is gone. The authorities are working to recover bodies, remove rubble, restore water and sewage lines, and open up streets.
B: That must be a big job... I hope things get better soon for them.

A: They're also asking the international community for help with urgent supplies. They say the blockade needs to be lifted and all crossings opened without restrictions.
B: It seems like they really need our assistance... I wonder if there are any updates on the Israeli hostages?

A: As for that, nothing new has been reported yet. The release was expected within 72 hours of the ceasefire, but it hasn't happened yet. People in Israel are concerned about this issue.
