Babies are still being buried in Gaza.
A five-month-old infant was wrapped in a small shroud of white cloth after an Israeli strike on a school shelter in a so-called safe zone beyond IDF control.
A 29-day-old baby was declared dead on the cold stainless steel of a table in a morgue after suffering hypothermia in his family's tent.
Children as young as 8 years old are called "suspects" by the Israel Defence Forces (IDF) and killed for venturing close to the shifting yellow line demarcating their control.
These are the scenes of devastation and despair during what is called a ceasefire in Gaza.
International journalists have been barred from independently reporting from the strip for more than two years. The drone footage of vast areas of ashen rubble is still shocking through a screen.
"It is one of the most devastated places on earth to date," says Alessandro Mrakic, the head of the United Nations Development Programme's Gaza office.
"85% of the buildings have been, either partially or totally damaged, with almost 2 million people being currently displaced."
Israel does not permit the entry of reconstruction material and heavy machinery required to rebuild homes in the current phase of the US-led peace plan.
