Palestinians in Gaza have celebrated the agreement of a ceasefire and hostage release deal - but many fear confronting the grief that has built up over two years of war.
This morning, when we heard the news about the truce, it brought both joy and pain, 38-year-old Umm Hassan, who lost his 16-year-old son during the war, told the BBC.
Out of joy, both the young and the old began shouting, he said. And those who had lost loved ones started remembering them and wondering how we would return home without them.
The agreement announced by US President Donald Trump - which still must be accepted by Israel's security cabinet - will see the release of 20 living hostages and the bodies of 28 dead hostages in return for 250 Palestinian prisoners serving life sentences in Israeli jails and 1,700 detainees from Gaza.
It is the first phase of a 20-point peace plan that could lead to an end to the war - though the latter phases still need to be negotiated.
As news of a possible ceasefire deal broke over the weekend, Husam Zomlot, the head of the Palestinian mission to the UK, expressed the conflicting emotions many are feeling. The worst part in the last two years is that while you are losing loved ones, you are unable to allow yourself to grieve or to feel the deep sadness and to process your human feelings because your main focus is to try and stop what's happening, he said.
Despite the joy that many felt, daily life in Gaza is still fraught with difficulties and the scars of war remain pervasive. Residents voiced their hopes that peace will bring relief, yet the memories of loss cloud the celebrations.
