The people of Gaza are exhausted and would dearly love to sleep deeply, be warm, look for missing family, perhaps play outside, and maybe go see what's left of their house. As Palestinians wait with bated breath for a pause in the Israeli bombardment, we look at the Middle East this week:
'We want to grieve'Hoping to dodge bombs while hunting for enough food to keep your family alive for one more day has been the reality for the people of Gaza for more than six weeks.
Now, the people who spoke to Al Jazeera said, they are hoping that a "humanitarian pause" in Israel's bombing, brokered by Qatar, will give them a chance to regain some semblance of normalcy, even if it's just for a few days.
An exchange of captives is planned for the pause, with families of Palestinian prisoners in Israeli jails waiting anxiously to hear if their loved ones will be among the 150 prisoners to be released by Israel. Fidaa, for one, is busily tidying her house in hopes that her son, Ubai, may be among the women and children released from Israeli prisons. She's preparing his favourite meal.

حبيبي ليس يعدله حبيب *** ولا لسواه في قلبي نصيب حبيب غاب عن بصري وسمعي *** ولكن في فؤادي ما يغيب يا حبيب ...
