- Description
- When the Gaza ceasefire came into effect a year ago, Palestinians in the enclave hoped that they could start rebuilding their lives.
The truce came in the form of a 20-point plan which specified that aid would enter at scale and the strip would be “redeveloped for the benefit of the people of Gaza”.
It also said there would be a demilitarisation process and gradual Israeli withdrawal.
While the ceasefire brought much-needed respite after two years of full-scale war, many of the terms of the agreement have stalled, leaving 1.9 million people still displaced. Meanwhile, in the past year, about 1,400 people in Gaza have been killed and Israel has occupied more territory.
Humanitarian workers say food, medical supplies, shelters and other lifesaving aid are not being allowed to enter at the capacity needed.
In this episode of Beyond the Headlines, host Nada AlTaher looks at what, if anything, has changed for residents...

In this episode of Business Extra from LIVEX in Abu Dhabi, guest host David Dunn is joined by Dana Awad, chief commercial officer at ICT Real Estate Development.
As Abu Dhabi continues to grow and attract new residents, businesses and investment, the conversation explores what makes a development truly liveable.
Ms Awad explains why developers need to look beyond individual buildings and consider how people will actually live, work and spend their time within a community. Beautiful architecture alone, she argues, is not enough if a development does not connect with the everyday needs of its residents.
She talks about the importance of factoring in these elements at the earliest stages of master planning, from open spaces and walkability to amenities and community infrastructure.

When Zhino Babamiri gets a call from Urmieh Central Prison in Iran, she stops everything to pick up the phone. Her father is on the other end, and she doesn’t know when he will be able to contact her again.
“I just drop everything and take the call because sometimes when it doesn't go through, it could take a couple more weeks,” the 26-year-old told The National from her home in Norway. Sometimes there have been weekly calls of five or 10 minutes. “But sometimes it has been weeks until he has managed to do another one.”
The father, Rezgar Beigzadeh Babamiri, 48, was arrested in April 2023 and accused of providing medical assistance to demonstrators in the Women, Life, Freedom movement. The protests had erupted the previous year after 22-year-old Jina Mahsa Amini died in police custody, having been arrested ...
