What will the Israel-Hamas truce mean for Gaza?

Israel has again allowed the transfer of fuel and other essential goods into Gaza. Since the six-month ceasefire came into effect on June 19, goods crossings into Gaza have been sporadically or partially opened. Under the truce, Hamas is supposed to stop cross-border rocket fire by Palestinian groups in Gaza. In exchange, Israel is to ease its year-long siege of the strip and halt military raids. What would an ease of the siege mean for Gaza? Can the truce last?
