The Israel-Hamas war has devastated the Gaza Strip. Satellite photos offer some sense of the destruction in the territory.

The Israel-Hamas ceasefire goes into effect at 8:30 am local time (0630 GMT). According to the plan, three woman hostages are to be released after 4 pm.

Israel's army said it had conducted 50 strikes on Friday against "terror targets" across the strip as the ceasefire will take effect at 6.30am GMT tomorrow

The full extent of the damage will only be known when the fighting ends and inspectors have access to the territory.
