Israel and Hamas have agreed to a four-day temporary ceasefire and the release of around 50 hostages.

Israel's government says the pause will be extended by one day for every 24 hostages released. As soon as all parties agree to the agreement, a temporary ceasefire can take place within <> hours, a senior White House source told SVT News.

Mohammed says a ceasefire is positive for the people in northern Gaza where the bombing is more intense.

"I hear from people fleeing northern Gaza that the situation there is more difficult. They are fleeing from death every second. So it's absolutely positive for them to be able to escape without fear of losing their lives.

"The situation here is a nightmare"

Mohammed, who traveled down to Gaza despite the Foreign Ministry's advice to visit his parents, whom he has not seen for many years, says that the biggest problem where he is is the lack of supplies.

"There is a shortage of food, there is no clean water to drink. I don't have any warm clothes and it's cold at night. It's more important for people, they're trying to survive and then more trucks with help are needed.

Trucks are coming in with supplies, but not enough, says Mohammed.

"Yesterday a truck with water arrived. When it entered the school, it ended in just a few seconds. People attacked the truck. It's a disaster here.

He talks about children who have not had food for several days and parents who ask for food for the children and stand over food themselves.

"The situation here is a nightmare.
