00:00Tens of thousands of deaths and widespread devastation,
00:03from Jabalia to Rafah, Han Yunis to Deir al-Bala.
00:09After 500 days of war, Gazans have been left reeling.
00:15500 days of war means 500 days of humiliation, suffering, destruction,
00:21bloodshed, martyrs and wounded. You see destruction everywhere.
00:30Gaza is uninhabitable. It is totally destroyed.
00:34Gaza is uninhabitable for humans, even for animals.
00:39Amid these landscapes of destruction,
00:41Palestinians in the enclave are in dire humanitarian need.
00:45With basic supplies, including food and water, thin on the ground,
00:49residents are completely drained.
00:52I want the war to end and the truce to hold and move to its second and third phases.
00:57Enough, we are very exhausted. The war has completely drained us
01:00and we have no property left.
01:02After coming into effect in January, the fragile ceasefire between Israel
01:06and Hamas is meant to enter its second phase in early March.
01:11This stage, which has yet to be negotiated, should see the release
01:14of the remaining living hostages held by Hamas and a permanent ceasefire.
01:19The third and final stage of the deal should see the launch of a plan to rebuild Gaza.
01:24It's a colossal task, which the UN estimates will take at least $53 billion.
01:31Meanwhile, Donald Trump's proposal for the US to take control of Gaza
01:34and move its population to Egypt and Jordan has sparked anger in the enclave and further afield.
01:41US Secretary of State Marco Rubio visited Saudi Arabia on Monday
01:45in a bid to push the controversial plan.
