STORY: Displaced Palestinians in Gaza's Nuseirat reflected on Tuesday (October 7) on two years of Israel's offensive on the Palestinian enclave, launched in response to Hamas' attack on southern Israeli communities on October 7, 2023.

They hoped the latest Gaza talks would result in a ceasefire and "a final end to the war".

Delegations from Israel and Hamas held their first day of indirect negotiations in Egypt on Monday (October 6) on U.S. President Donald Trump's plan to halt the war in Gaza, wrestling with contentious issues such as demands that Israel withdraw and Hamas disarm.

Israel and Hamas have both endorsed the overall principles behind Trump's plan, under which fighting would cease, hostages go free and aid pour into Gaza.

The plan also has the backing of Arab and Western states. Trump has called for negotiations to take place swiftly towards a final deal, in what Washington hails as the closest the sides have yet come to ending the two-year-old conflict.

"Hopefully Trump's plan stops the war, stops the hunger, stops the displacement," said 45-year-old displaced Palestinian Shireen Dawaba.

The talks commenced on the eve of the second anniversary of the Hamas attack on October 7, 2023, on Israel that triggered the war. Fighters killed 1,200 people and took 251 hostages, according to Israeli tallies, the deadliest day for Jews since the Holocaust.

Israel's retaliatory military campaign has killed more than 67,000 Palestinians and left the majority of 2.2 million Gazans homeless and hungry in an enclave destroyed by relentless bombardment.

"Today is October 7. It's been two years that we are living in fear, horror, displacement and destruction. We are living a difficult life, in bitterness and misery. We are hoping, with these new negotiations, to reach a ceasefire and a final end to the war. We are exhausted from this journey, and it has been two very difficult years for us."

"We hope, with this (U.S. President Donald) Trump's plan, the war would stop, to return to our homes, go home with our children, live a decent life like the children of the world are living - our children have not been to school for two years, and we are (moving) from a displacement to another. We were displaced 12 times, from a place to another. No one accepts this. Hopefully Trump's plan stops the war, stops the hunger, stops the displacement - the displacement of children who are experiencing suffering only God knows about."
