00:00 In Palestine, citizens of Gaza welcome the agreement by Hamas and Israel to extend the

00:03 ceasefire for two additional days in the hope that it will become permanent as soon as possible.

00:09 Qatar and Egypt helped negotiate the four-day humanitarian truce in the Gaza Strip that

00:16 started last Friday, November 24, where Hamas released at least 50 Israeli prisoners in

00:24 exchange for 150 Palestinian hostages.

00:28 The agreement came to fruition and the parties decided to extend the truce for two more days.

00:38 Like everyone else, we would like a definite ceasefire.

00:40 We live under a lot of pressure.

00:42 We are worried every night about the possible bombing the next day.

00:46 But we are also grateful for the efforts of the international community to have extended

00:50 the truce for another two days.

00:53 However, despite the ceasefire agreement, the Gaza Strip still faces multiple problems

00:59 such as shortages of food, fuel, medical supplies, and shelter, among many others.

01:08 Food and other needs in the Gaza Strip are still far from adequate.

01:12 There are no words to describe how I feel.

01:19 Parties hope that with the collaboration of the international community, a permanent ceasefire

01:23 can be reached and they can return to their lives before the armed conflicts.

01:33 We have relaxed a bit in the last couple of days.

01:36 We hope that the international community will help us push for a permanent ceasefire in

01:42 Gaza so that we can return to life as it was before the conflict.

01:45 Otherwise, our lives will become increasingly difficult.

01:52 Israel declared war on Hamas on October 7, following an attack by the Islamic Resistance

01:56 Movement which resulted in the death of over 1,200 Israelis and the capture of 250 others.

02:07 Since then, the Israeli state has killed at least 15,000 Palestinian citizens, mostly

02:12 women and children, while another 7,000 remain missing.
