Israel killed 80 Palestinians in Gaza today, 30 of whom killed after the ceasefire deal was announced.
Israel always accelerates its massacres in the lead-up to ceasefire deadlines.
Gaza also remains a besieged concentration camp reduced to rubble.
The crisis is far from over.

What
a relief! Thank you Lord. But also a shameful moment for Humanity that
so much blood had to be spilled before politicians in power agreed to
ceasefire - peace can never come too soon
"This
is long overdue for the children and families of Gaza who have endured
more than a year of bombardment and deprivation, and for the hostages in
Gaza and their families in Israel who have suffered so much."
“The war has exacted a horrific toll on Gaza’s children – reportedly
leaving at least 14,500 dead, thousands more injured, an estimated
17,000 unaccompanied or separated from their parents, and nearly one
million displaced from their homes.
“The scale of humanitarian
needs is enormous, and UNICEF and partners are ready to scale up our
response. The ceasefire must, finally, afford humanitarian actors the
opportunity to safely roll out the massive response inside the Gaza
Strip that is so desperately needed. This includes unimpeded access to
reach all children and families with essential food and nutrition,
health care and psychosocial support, clean water, and sanitation,
education, and learning, as well as cash assistance and the resumption
of commercial trucking operations.
Depraved
& sadistic. With the announcement of the upcoming ceasefire Israel
shelled the Palestinians celebrating in the street, then shelled the
tattered tents of the displaced. The utmost cruelty.
Israel
and Hamas have agreed to a phased ceasefire deal that includes boosting
aid into Gaza and the release of Israeli hostages and Palestinian
prisoners.
Over the last 15 months, civilians have been targeted, attacked and
killed at a scale unprecedented in the recent history of Israel and
Palestine.
Our
work is not done!
A ceasefire is only the most important first step to end the genocide
against the 2.3 million Palestinians in Gaza.
Without massive pressure, it may constitute a continuation of a less
visible form of genocide that Israel and the US hope will provoke less
regional and global outrage, boycotts and sanctions.
Boycott and pressure these companies now for their complicity in
Israel’s occupation, apartheid and genocide against Palestinians.
"I
welcome the announcement of a deal to secure a ceasefire and hostage
release in Gaza.
I urge the parties & relevant partners to seize this opportunity to
establish a credible political path to a better future for Palestinians,
Israelis & broader region."
-
The
40 people who were killed after the ceasefire deal announcement
yesterday afternoon managed to survive over the past 15 months, be it
starvation, air strikes, illnesses, and the nonstop evacuation orders.
Just in a click of a button, they were killed with their families.
And yet sadly, more will be killed in Gaza today and will they never
live to return to their bombed houses and feel that they made it.
