the war has also had a considerable impact on the movement of people. the un estimates that 90% of gazans have been internally displaced — that's 1.9 million people. and this is part of the reason why huge numbers of gazans and this is part of the reason why. huge numbers of gazans have been subject to israeli evacuation orders over the last 15 months. all of these areas marked here in red have been covered by those evacuation orders. people being told often at short notice, to leave their homes, or sometimes, their makeshift homes. that have, by the way, been strikes outside of these red red areas as well, including in the humanitarian zone. the amount of internal displacement in gaza has been considerable, leading to a huge build up of internal refugees. finally, a few figures highlighting the humanitarian challenge that

will be faced now that the cease fire has been agreed. this is what the un projects — that 91% of people are facing acute food insecurity. the un thinks thatjust under 1.9 million people are in need of emergency shelter, and it thinks thatjust half of hospitals are still partially functioning. so some considerable challenges for gaza in the future. knitterrdly. but take a moment to recap. knitterrdly. but take a moment to reca. w' , it will see the gradual release of hostages, as well as palestinian detainees. the agreement takes effect on sunday — just a day before donald trump is sworn in as us president for the second time. the deal also reportedly requires 600 truckloads of humanitarian aid to be allowed into gaza each day of the ceasefire. hamas is to release 33 israeli hostages, including all women, children, and men aged over 50. they are to be released over the six—week period with at least three per week. in turn, israel will release 30

palestinian detainees for every civilian hostage and 50 palestinian detainees for every female soldier released by hamas. israel is also to release all palestinian girls under 19 by the end of the first six—week phase. negotiations over a second phase of the agreement will begin by the 16th day of the first phase, and is expected to include a permanent ceasefire, and the complete withdrawal of israeli soldiers from gaza. a third phase is then expected to include the return of all remaining dead bodies, and the start of gaza's reconstruction. let's ta ke let's take a moment to look at hope house have been reacting to the announcement of this cease—fire. this was the scene.

he could see people dancing, playing drums, dancing. not surprising after those weeks of vested work go back warfare. earlier our gaza correspondent, rushdi abualouf, who's in istanbul right now, told me about the reaction among the palestinians. with all videos of people celebrating in the streets, but i think people were upset with the fact that. watching the last hours of the cease—fire

before he goes into effect in lebanon. it might be the same in gaza, so until the cease—fire goes into effect, all people are still worried will in general. those who are supporting hamas, they say it's a victory in their voices were up a victory in their voices were up for the last year gets home so they were equally blaming hamas. we have seen this, we have seen people exposing this on social media. you know the scale of destruction in gaza is something guys i never saw

before. everything is destroyed and people are happy because the cease—fire is going to be in effect and they might be allowed to go back north. they will not find, most of them will not find, most of them will not find a place to stay, a school to send their kids, a hospital to be treated. so, very grim future, very mixed feeling. and one of the terms of the agreement aid should surge back in. that will be warmly welcomed by the desperate people there. of course. you know, what is a good thing now during the war time is less than 20% of people, what the people needed. no part of the deal is humanitarian protocol with 600 trucks going to be allowed through israel and egypt, including 50 fuel trucks. —— now.

there is a real shortage of fuel to run of fuel to run the essential services, the remaining 4—5 hospitals, and the sewage system, water system all need fuel and the fuel was severely restricted into gaza. so, now, if they allow 50 fuel trucks every day, they deliver stability and companies can start to work out and fix some of the stuff. most important also, the hospitals are full of patients and people who get injured in the war, they need treatment outside gaza and part of this we understand, that egypt is working with the israelis, the americans and also with the palestinian authority to reopen the rafah crossing and allowed those in need to be treated outside gaza. we have seen in the last cease—fire, many people allowed to leave and people hope that when cease—fire goes into effect, those in need for

treatment will be allowed out and those in need for aid will be allowed in. we're just hearing from the israeli prime minister benjamin netanyahu, who has thanked both the incoming us president donald trump and the outgoing presidentjoe biden for their help in securing that cease—fire agreement. we're hearing that he's a spoken to mr trump and hearing that he's a spoken to mrtrump and he hearing that he's a spoken to mr trump and he thanked mr trumpfor his mr trump and he thanked mr trump for his help in promoting the release of the hostages and for helping israel end the suffering of the hostages and their families. suffering of the hostages and theirfamilies. the prime their families. the prime minister theirfamilies. the prime minister made it clear that he is committed to returning all the hostages by any means necessary and congratulated the us president—elect for his words that the us will work with israel to ensure that because i will never be a haven for terror.

because i will never be a haven forterror. —— because i will never be a haven for terror. —— that gaza will. they will meet in washington soon to discuss this and other important issues. mr netanyahu then spoke to the us president, outgoing president, joe biden. also thanked him for his help in promoting the hostage deal. as we've been reflecting, both joe biden and donald trump claiming credit for this agreement, and mr annette yahoo thanking both of them —— mr netanyahu. let's get more on the net humanitarian situation. let's speak to fikr shalltoot. she's the gaza director for medical aid for palestinians. thank you very much. i do see this agreement panning out in terms of humanitarian aid and getting those relief supplies back —— how do you see?

leave it really —— live in really tough conditions. they are being targeted and killed in what they call safe zones. we've been struggling to reach, to deliver what is needed, and people talking about the hospitals, they were an influx of injuries. talking about medicine and medical disposables.- medicine and medical disposables. medicine and medical disosables. �* disposables. are those relief su - lies disposables. are those relief sunplies that _ disposables. are those relief supplies that you _ disposables. are those relief supplies that you have, - disposables. are those relief supplies that you have, are l supplies that you have, are they ready to go? you can get them across quite quickly once you're allowed to, once the conditions allow.— you're allowed to, once the conditions allow. yeah, once the conditions _ conditions allow. yeah, once the conditions allow, - conditions allow. yeah, once the conditions allow, of - the conditions allow, of course. we already have trucks that have been waiting for some time. we got some items stuck

phase two, the ongoing negotiation for the idf, that being a condition for the release of the further hostages, both alive and unfortunately the remains. i think that's a more challenging part of the three phases of this piece agreement. there's a lona wa this piece agreement. there's a long way to _ this piece agreement. there's a long way to go _ this piece agreement. there's a long way to go in _ this piece agreement. there's a long way to go in other- this piece agreement. there's a long way to go in other words. | long way to go in other words. this is not necessarily the end of the war in gaza. i this is not necessarily the end of the war in gaza.— of the war in gaza. i would auree, of the war in gaza. i would agree. i — of the war in gaza. i would agree, i don't _ of the war in gaza. i would agree, i don't think - of the war in gaza. i would agree, i don't think the . agree, i don't think the strategic objectives have changed one bit i think we saw from the statement made by president biden that there is no space between the support between that objective because the president stated that the elimination of hamas, and the incoming ministration under president—elect trump is

stalwart in subjecting that as well. so there is still a lot of hamas senior operatives, although israel has been very successful over the course of the last 15 months. there's still a lot of capability that has to be removed to provide long—term security for israel and as important to the palestinian people are caught in the middle of this conflict. the politics of this are fascinating because for months, the israeli government and the prime minister seem to be ignoring the white house and american desires on this for a cease—fire. suddenly now, they've agreed. is that because donald trump is coming into the white house, in your view? ida. white house, in your view? no, i think it's _ white house, in your view? no, i think it's early _ white house, in your view? no, i think it's early to _ white house, in yourview? iirr, i think it's early to assess, but i do think there was a number of factors that were at play that resulted in the continued delay of an agreement. 0bviously, continued delay of an agreement. obviously, i continued delay of an agreement. 0bviously, ithink it started with the killing

nasrallah and haniya, and the killing of sinwar. under the negotiations in terms of how many palestinian prisoners will negotiations in terms of how many palestinian prisoners will be released, for every hostage be released, for every hostage life that is passed as a result life that is passed as a result of this conflict. i think that of this conflict. i think that every adversary will attempt in every adversary will attempt in every adversary will attempt in every terrorist organisation will attempt to try to exploit every adversary will attempt in every terrorist organisation will attempt to try to exploit strategic transitions, and i strategic transitions, and i think what we saw today in this think what we saw today in this announcement that there is no announcement that there is no transition. terms of how gap between our current gap between our current administration and that of the administration and that of the incoming administration. to incoming administration. to your point, prime minister your point, prime minister netanyahu had the experience of netanyahu had the experience of working with president—elect working with president—elect trump in his previous ministration, so i think he trump in his previous ministration, so i think he clearly knew that there was a clearly knew that there was a concerted pressure to come to concerted pressure to come to
