People in Gaza more than 2.2 million are watching closely for news from Qatar about a possible ceasefire deal between Hamas and Israel. This deal is meant to stop the fighting that has been going on for 15 months. Many folks are feeling hopeful because they’ve lost so much and had to leave their homes. Like Baker Soboh a dad who lost his son he said he’d celebrate by calling out to his son if they announce a ceasefire. He said it would be a really emotional time for his family and everyone there cause they have been waiting for this.
The main thing they are talking about is getting a ceasefire to end all the fighting in Gaza. Hamas and Israel are talking with Qatar helping them try to agree on something. People in Gaza really want these talks to work so they can finally have peace and go back to some kind of normal life. The fighting has been really hard with so many losing people they love and homes during the Israeli military actions.
This long conflict has really hurt the people in Gaza with lots of people dying getting hurt and having to leave their homes. It’s been hard for everyone feeling scared and unsafe for so long. This idea of a ceasefire is giving people a little hope they really want to see peace soon and they feel desperate as they keep seeing more and more people get hurt in the fighting.
