After 11 days of conflict, a ceasefire has been agreed between Israel and the Palestinian militant group Hamas. The violence in that time killed more than 250 people, most of them in Gaza.

During this past week, host Nuala McGovern has been hearing conversations from both Palestinians and Israelis about what it has been like to be living under bombardment. They talk about their lives and hopes for the future.

Among those she talks to are two women in their twenties in Gaza and also two Jewish women in the Israeli city of Lod, where a state of emergency was declared. They each share the emotional and mental toll from what they have witnessed.
