For the children of Gaza, hopes are fading again tonight. 
Like seven-year-old Aya, sobbing beside her ten-year-old brother’s body. 
This was her second after he was killed by an Israeli missile in June. 
“My brother,” she screams. 
“He was bleeding,” she says, talking to NBC News inside Gaza last month. 
This week, the Trump administration announced a breakthrough Hamas, saying it will disarm. 
Already tonight, that is in question. 
The group says Israel must withdraw from the enclave. 
Israel not commenting officially tonight, but strikes on Gaza continuing this weekend. 
A renowned Palestinian doctor telling me before the latest dashed hopes, Trump’s Gaza border peace is failing. 
“You have a bird of peace, but no peace,” she says. 
For these sisters, it’s too late. 
My loves. 
Their father says he saw an Apache helicopter firing. 
“Why?” 
he asks. 
Now, the family looks back at pictures and packs away their school things. 
A recent U.N. report accused Israel of deliberately targeting children, a claim Israel utterly rejects. 
But more than 20,000 children have been killed since October 7th. 
“The situation is miserable. 
If we are talking about the children in general, in this war, they suffered a lot. 
We are left.” 
Children like Aya, facing loss and lack of food and medicine, and no end in sight.
