This ceasefire is an important step in establishing peace and humanitarian crisis in Gaza. Because of this war over 1 million residents have been displaced from Gaza, and many other residents are facing difficulties in getting proper food, water, and basic needs. This ceasefire will help to prevent the destruction of homes and infrastructure.
After the announcement of the ceasefire global reaction started to come out from around the world. Japan has urged both sides to respect the ceasefire and appreciated the efforts of the US, Qatar, and Egypt for their efforts to establish the ceasefire. South Korea also commented and said this will bring peace to Gaza.
Though the announcement of a ceasefire is a new hope for the region but its important to stay tuned and keep an eye on every development as the success of this ceasefire depends on cooperation from both sides Israel and Hamas.
