A year of ceasefire in Gaza through the lens of NPR's reporter

A Palestinian mother mourns her son, who was killed in an Israeli airstrike just over a month into the ceasefire, at Al-Shifa Hospital, in Gaza City, on Nov. 20, 2025.

It has been one year since Hamas released the remaining Israeli hostages and President Trump promised an end to the war, but Palestinians say the past 12 months have been a ceasefire in name only.
