You can question whether this should really be called a ceasefire.
Over 100 people a month on average since the ceasefire began being killed would be considered an active conflict.
The situation in Gaza just does not seem to be a priority for governments around the world who are concerned about the war
in Iran, the impact of higher oil prices on cost of living and inflation and things like that.
Certainly at the moment we see a lot of condemnation,
but very little in terms of practical steps that might mean an improvement.
For people in Gaza who are living in this terrible limbo.
While the world's attention is on the war in Iran,
the suffering of Palestinians in Gaza and the West Bank has all but fallen out of the headlines.
From The Guardians today in Focus, this is The Latest with me, Annie Kelly.
Joining me today is Emma Graham Harrison, our Chief Middle East Correspondent.
Emma Graham Harrison, you 're The Guardian's Chief Middle East Correspondent,
normally based in Jerusalem, so it 's really great to have you here in the studio with us today.
Thanks, it's great to be here.
So six months after the ceasefire, we know that conditions on the ground in Gaza are really horrendous.
No aid getting in or not enough aid getting in. Same with medical supplies,
people are living in these really dire, appalling conditions.
First off, I was hoping that you would just tell us, you know, what is life like for people inside Gaza at the moment?
So living conditions are still absolutely horrendous.
