Monday marks the fourth and, in theory, the final day in a temporary military pause between Israel and Gaza, leaving world leaders and citizens in panic as the threat of Israel’s siege looms once again.

For seven weeks, Israel has bombarded the Gaza strip with its military forces, following an unprecedented attack in south Israel by Hamas militants, which resulted in the death of thousands of people.

Israel’s retaliatory efforts, however, have left tens of thousands of Palestinians dead in Gaza, and those still alive without electricity, shelter, food and, in many cases, water — living through a humanitarian crisis.

“We are all working to extend [the] truce … Because extending the truce means stopping the killing,” Palestinian foreign minister Riyad Al-Milaki said on Monday.

“This would allow for much needed relief to the people of Gaza and the release of more hostages,” NATO Secretary-General Jens Stoltenberg said echoing the sentiment.

The four-day pause allowed not only supplies to be replenished somewhat, but an exchange of dozens of hostages held by Hamas and hundreds of Palestinian prisoners held in Israel. The recent influx of supplies, however, have not been enough for the Gazan population, and hundreds of hostages are presumed to still be in the hands of Hamas.
