Hamas police are on the streets in Gaza. This is four months after a stop to fighting. They say they will stop crime. They also want to find people who work against them. Hamas is also in charge of public services again. This makes life hard for people.
The recent war hurt Gaza a lot. Many people lost their homes. Hamas is using this time. People need Hamas for ID cards and health care. Hamas is now the main power. This makes people wonder about Gaza's future. It also affects peace talks.
Hamas is also getting money from sellers. Market sellers must pay money for their shops. This costs about 700 shekels. This is about $225 USD. Families have little money. This new cost is very hard. Sellers say Hamas threatens them. They can lose their shops.
Hamas was hurt in the war. But they took back control fast. This shows they are strong. A peace plan said Hamas should give up power. Hamas's actions seem to go against this plan. This could make peace talks harder. The situation in Gaza is hard. People need help, but Hamas has more control.
