A new and beautiful day is rising. That is what President Trump told a gathering of world leaders this

week. He was speaking of the ceasefire between Israel and Hamas, a ceasefire meant to pave the way to a

permanent end to the war that has left much of the Gaza Strip in rubble. Now, Trump said, the rebuilding begins.

The rebuilding is maybe going to be the easiest part. I think we've done a lot of the hardest

part. Mahemar Abbasada has a different view. He's a political science professor in Gaza who has been

living in Cairo. I guess it seems to me that the easy part has been done.

The most complicated issues will be in the second stage of this Trump proposal, meaning

the governance of Gaza, the demilitarization of Gaza, and also rebuilding and reconstruction of Gaza.

There are huge questions about what comes after the ceasefire.

Who will govern Gaza?

Will Hamas disarm?

When will Israeli troops fully withdraw?

And before any of that, there's a more urgent challenge getting food and medicine

to the people in Gaza.

There is some aid going in, but clearly the amount is falling far, far short of what is necessary

for the survival of the population. That's Jonathan Fowler, with the United Nations Relief

and Works Agency for Palestine refugees.

He says his organization has tons of food staged in Egypt and Jordan achingly close to the Gaza Strip.

The ceasefire agreement calls for Israel to let 600 trucks a day into Gaza.

As of Wednesday, just about half that number is getting in.

Israel says that's in response to delays by Hamas in the handover of the bodies of hostages.

What's coming in now is, I mean, something is better than nothing, but it's close to nothing.
