Good morning, Audrey Courty and Luke Cooper here with Wednesday's AM NewsMail.

Today's main story takes us into Gaza where, almost eight months after the ceasefire between Israel and Hamas ended hostilities, daily life has become fraught with difficulties related to the unpredictability of essential resources.

We also look at whether Australia's 30-year property boom is drawing to a close, with some economists now tipping a prolonged period where property values will barely outpace inflation.

Plus, we ask Google's AI Overviews to summarise some of the world's biggest tobacco companies. How it responds poses questions about how much trust we should place in the information these overviews are serving up.

The story so far: Almost eight months after the ceasefire between Israel and Hamas ended hostilities in Gaza, daily life for its residents is governed by the unpredictability of essential resources. Unsafe water pumped from Israel runs through damaged pipes and 37 international NGOs have been banned from operating in Gaza.

The supply crisis: Restrictions on critical medical supplies and international staff are also affecting care provided by humanitarian groups. Temporary field hospitals have been created, but the risk of needing to reduce the numbers of patients is growing.

What happens next: Under the ceasefire, Israel was to withdraw progressively towards its border and allow more aid and commercial supplies into Gaza, while Hamas disarmed. That arrangement has stalled because both sides say the other is not sticking to the terms.

Why it matters: Most buildings in Gaza are uninhabitable. Debris removal, let alone rebuilding, has barely begun. At least $US17 billion ($24 million) in foreign aid has been earmarked for Gaza, but won't be unlocked while the threat of Hamas re-arming remains.

• Housing at a crossroads: Is Australia's property boom finally running out of steam? Some economists are tipping an extended period where home prices grow no faster than inflation, writes business editor Michael Janda.
• DRACO rocket: You might hear DRACO and think Harry Potter but for Australia, the name also equals rocket motors. The DRACO rocket, the largest and most advanced rocket motor designed and built in Australia, has been test-fired for the first time. Here's why that has missile manufacturers excited.
• Is Snowy 2.0 worth it? Australia's most ambitious renewable energy project is slowly nearing completion, but the project has blown out by around $3 million a day. It has left experts divided as to whether the power station will ever be worth its snowballing price tag.

• Clandestine journey: Three Australian men have been found guilty by an Indonesian court after taking a "black flight" into the country's South Papua province from Far North Queensland without visas.
• SA's Voice to Parliament failures: The state's inaugural Voice to Parliament election was hampered by advertising failures that left some First Nations voters unaware an election was taking place, Freedom of information documents obtained by the ABC show. For some voters, the sentiment is they've still not been listened to.
• And in science: Ozempic has become synonymous with weight loss treatment, but new research suggests the drug may also help protect the kidneys of people living with type 2 diabetes and chronic kidney disease.

— Harry Sanders, the founder of Melbourne online marketing agency StudioHawk, whose company found referrals from artificial intelligence (AI) converted into customers more often than word-of-mouth recommendations.

It's one of the most striking insights from our deep dive into Google's AI Overviews and the growing battle over who gets to shape the information AI serves back to us.

When the ABC searched for some of the world's biggest tobacco companies, we found AI-generated summaries that sometimes read more like corporate brochures than independent snapshots of the facts.

He's the brother of actor Hugh Jackman and a former sports reporter, but Ralph Jackman's most life-changing role came inside a youth justice precinct classroom.

His first day on the job involved razor wire, a duress alarm and the fear he wouldn't last. Yet what he remembers most is one boy's simple request: "I really want to learn to read".

Find out what came next in a place few people ever see inside.

And that's it for today. Thanks for reading. We'll be back at the same time tomorrow morning with the latest.

It's been seven months since the ceasefire in Gaza, but reconstruction has barely begun, water remains contaminated and minimal aid is getting into the strip. This is what life is like for its residents.
