Ceasefire enables Gaza family reunion, signaling reduced conflict and post-truce reunification.
Context
What happened: A documentary follows Captain Moumen of Gaza's Civil Defence as he tries to reunite with his family after more than a year of separation. A day after a ceasefire is announced, his wife and children leave the Nuseirat refugee camp and head north on Gaza's coastal road.
