Two weeks after the ceasefire between Hamas and Israel took effect, much-needed humanitarian assistance is surging into the Gaza strip. But Palestinians say it’s still an uphill battle to ensure it reaches everyone.

It is believed that at least two of the six American hostages still held in Gaza are alive — Sagui Dekel-Chen, 35, who grew up in Bloomfield, Connecticut, and Edan Alexander, 19, from Tenafly, New Jersey. Four other Americans are believed to have been killed in captivity.

Three hostages have been handed over to the International Committee of the Red Cross, according to NBC News’ crew in Gaza, and will be making their way to Israel.
