Gaza residents have expressed relief following the announcement of a ceasefire between Hamas and Israel, while many remain affected by the conflict. The agreement, brokered by Qatar, Egypt, and the US, includes a six-week truce, a gradual troop withdrawal, and a hostage-prisoner exchange.
Palestinians in Gaza City have expressed a sense of relief after the announcement of a ceasefire agreement between Hamas and Israel, though many continue to face significant challenges.
Nahed al-Joujou, who still has loved ones displaced to the south, shared her hope of reuniting with them soon. Mostafa Sobh, who lost four of his eight children, acknowledged the deep losses suffered by many but welcomed the ceasefire as a step towards stability.
“There may be no house without loss or suffering. May God grant patience to everyone and bring a peaceful end to this war,” said the 50-year-old.
Despite the agreement, strikes continued in Gaza in the hours following the announcement, as mediators worked to ensure the truce takes effect. The ceasefire, brokered by Qatar, Egypt, and the US, follows 15 months of intense conflict that has affected the region.
The agreement outlines a six-week initial ceasefire with a gradual withdrawal of Israeli forces. It includes provisions for the release of hostages held in Gaza in exchange for Palestinian detainees in Israeli custody.
