Representatives have been working to reach a temporary cease-fire agreement between Israel and Hamas in response to the Oct. 7 terror attack, which killed 1,200 people and saw Hamas seize hostages. The situation for more than 2 million civilians trapped in the enclave has become increasingly dire, with UNICEF reporting that 5,000 of the 13,000 killed in Gaza were children. A cease-fire agreement is close, however, details are still being negotiated in order to bring an end to the conflict.
