Zak Hania, a displaced Palestinian who fled the Shati refugee camp, said Palestinians in Gaza are having “mixed feelings” about the pause in the fighting, Al Jazeera reports.

“We don’t know where to be happy or sad. Our houses are broken, our hearts are broken, everything is broken in Gaza now. We do not know how life will continue after this,” he told Al Jazeera from the southern city of Khan Younis, some three hours into the truce.

Hania also said Gaza’s residents “are still nervous”.

“I’m hearing now shooting, I think it’s from the eastern border or Khan Younis, I’m hearing the sounds now, we are not sure,” he said.
