Hey Amigos! After 49 intense days of conflict between Israel and Hamas, there's finally a glimmer of hope 🌅. A four-day truce kicked off this morning at 7 a.m. local time (0500 GMT) in the Gaza Strip. What's the deal? Hostages held by Hamas are set to be released later today in exchange for Palestinian prisoners. 🙏
The numbers are heartbreaking 💔—a total of 15,950 lives lost on both sides, with the majority being Palestinians. This ceasefire offers a much-needed pause and a chance for families to reunite. Let's keep our fingers crossed 🤞 that this truce holds and leads to lasting peace.
Stay tuned for updates, and let's spread the word for peace and understanding. ✨
