Indirect negotiations between Israel and Hamas continue in Doha following Hamas's announcement to release a US-Israeli hostage and the bodies of four others, aiming to resume talks. Israel accused Hamas of "manipulation" and said its cabinet would discuss the situation. Meanwhile, Palestinians in Gaza face dire conditions due to the fragile truce, marked by soaring prices, lack of essential services, and the ever-present threat of renewed conflict.", A2="The current situation in Gaza stems from the halting of aid deliveries and electricity after the first phase of a ceasefire agreement ended.

What are the immediate consequences of Israel's electricity cut-off to Gaza, and how does this action impact the civilian population?
