Trucks with aid and supplies driving in Rafah

(20 Feb 2025) RESTRICTION SUMMARY: ASSOCIATED PRESS Rafah, Gaza Strip - 20 February 2025 1. Various of trucks carrying aid STORYLINE: Trucks loaded with aid were seen driving in the Rafah area of the Gaza Strip on Thursday. It comes as Hamas released the bodies of four Israeli hostages, said to include a mother and her two young children, in the first time the remains of hostages have been released since a fragile ceasefire began in January. The remains sent to Israel on Thursday were said to be of Shiri Bibas and her two children, Ariel and Kfir, as well as Oded Lifshitz, who was 83 when he was abducted. Kfir, who was 9 months old when he was taken, was the youngest captive. Hamas has said all four were killed along with their guards in Israeli airstrikes. Formal identification could take up to two days as Israel performs DNA testing. Hamas had agreed to release 33 hostages for nearly 2,000 prisoners and detainees during this phase. Six hostages who are still alive are expected to be released on Saturday in exchange for hundreds of Palestinian prisoners. Negations for a second stage of the ceasefire are expected to get underway in the coming days. Israel’s 16-month campaign in Gaza, triggered by Hamas’ Oct. 7, 2023 attack, devastated the territory. Around a quarter million housing units have been destroyed or damaged, according to U.N. estimates. More than 90% of the roads and more than 80% of health facilities have been damaged or destroyed. Damage to infrastructure has been estimated at some $30 billion, along with an estimated $16 billion in damage to housing.
