The ceasefire agreement in Gaza has now lasted for a month. There were critical moments and violations, but so far the mediators managed to keep the deal in hand.

This has allowed many of the 1.9 million displaced people to return to the areas they fled, eased pressure in southern and central Gaza, while central Gaza held large temporary camps without the necessary infrastructure .

The ceasefire has certainly brought a relief feeling to the Gaza Strip, which suffered unimaginable pain in 15 months. But for families who survived relentless bombing and destruction, the battle is far from over.

They face a new war - a war against poverty, hunger, homelessness and despair. Houses lie in ruins, hospitals are overwhelmed, schools are either destroyed or still cover up displaced and homeless people. Gaza has been on hold for decades.

Over the past few weeks, we have seen aid access to a great rise into striptease, especially in the north, which has been besieged for months. But there are still major challenges.

On the ground, colleagues and friends reported ongoing difficulties in obtaining food, water, medicines and supplies. Distribution remains a key challenge due to infrastructure damage, but that is not the only problem.

There are still obstacles to entering various basic projects. Last week, a truck blockage carrying tents, mobile homes and heavy machinery caused a ceasefire deal to be nearly backflowed. Many Palestinian families continue to suffer from harsh weather conditions in the Gaza Strip due to the lack of proper shelter, but especially in the north, where civilian buildings have the highest rates of damage.

Many of our colleagues say they have not seen any signs of blankets or tents. They are still exposed to these elements and cannot properly perform life-saving work.

Some of our beneficiaries shared that they stopped taking a shower due to the cold cold. Sara*, a mother of three, lives in Deir El-Balah, told our team earlier this month that she used to bathe the kids in the sea, but she can't Do this again because she fears they will get sick. This could be the death penalty for children due to the ongoing lack of drugs.

Although a lot of food has entered striptease, especially a few months ago, there are still huge challenges in meeting Palestinian nutritional needs.

The aid package is specially filled with a pantry. Oil, flour, ghee, rice, canned beans and tomatoes, and tuna. No fresh fruits, vegetables, meat or eggs. The long-term health effects of 15 months without fresh food will certainly be understood only in the next few years.

Worse, these aid packages are still not enough and do not attract everyone in need. In fact, for most of Gaza’s population, the opportunity for access to aid has not improved significantly since the pilot ceasefire came into effect.

Fatima*, a 21-year-old mother of two, said she was still suffering in the situation she faced months ago. Her tent leaked in the rain and the wind exposed in the wind. She didn't have a boring night in 16 months. However, her child is not able to cry. They were hungry and sick. Even if aid is increasing the area, she still can’t find the food and nutrition she needs to survive.

Gaza requires 600 trucks a day for at least four consecutive months to address acute malnutrition. Hundreds are still needed every day to return to a humane standard of living and in the years to come.

Nowadays, many foods can be used in certain areas of Gaza, such as eggs, chicken, fresh fruits and vegetables, but they are for sale. That's because most of the trucks entering Gaza don't help. They carry commercial goods, including food, and sell them to a small number of Palestinians who can afford it at high prices.

Humanitarian agencies largely swore to buy resale goods because of fears that they would push the already soaring prices beyond the reach of civilians. But even so, it is reported that eggs cost $40, $50, or even $12 for 12 cartons. In the south, supply is said to be easier to reach, and flour bags can cost as much as $100.

It is clear that the current humanitarian response cannot provide what Palestinians in Gaza need to start rebuilding their lives.

Gaza has been burnt. Much of its farmland was destroyed, partly covered with rubble or toxic residue, a remnant of a violent bombing campaign against civilians. Nothing will grow in the next few years.

The stripping economy was almost ruined. The vast majority of workers are unemployed and have no hope of getting employment in the near future.

Palestinian families simply cannot survive on packaging of bread, rice and canned fish.

With the urgency of aid allocations faltering and dignity being deprived of, the urgency of the new approach has never been clearer. People in Gaza need a more dignified way to get support that can help them recover in the long run.

Seeing the shortcomings of the current humanitarian response, our organization decided to launch its “Expand Your Table” initiative, which originates from solidarity, compassion and shared humanity. Rather than relying on often inconsistent and inadequate aid to Gaza, we give people around the world a tangible difference by twining their families with Gaza.

Through monthly donations, people can directly support Palestinian families, not only providing food, but also providing dignity and hope for a better tomorrow. The beneficiaries will receive cash certificates that allow them to decide how to meet their needs – an option that has not been offered to them since the start of the Gaza horror film.

Giving families a choice of how to take care of themselves hasn’t even begun to address these issues, but this will be a start. We hope this initiative will help restore agents, build connections, and ensure that the basic needs of Palestinian men, women and children suffering from unimaginable pain and destruction are met.

Such a holistic approach not only provides immediate relief, but also supports economic recovery, education and health.

We strongly hope that other organizations will also adopt different, more effective strategies in Gaza that provide Palestinians with more dignified and humane support. The road to recovery will be long, but we can be part of the solution.
