It's significant for the people of Gaza. It's a night of celebration in Gaza, but also a sign of worrying because, you know, the ceasefire will go into effect from Sunday, which is still three days of this war. Already today and yesterday, there was a real intensify of Israeli airstrikes. More than 60 people were killed for the last 48 hours, according to the Hamas health ministry. But in general,

People were expressing their mixed feelings, joy for the ceasefire announcement today, but fear for the future because, you know, the scale of destruction in Gaza City and in northern Gaza is... especially which was under really heavy Israeli operation for the last year.

Most of the homes, schools, universities were destroyed, and people will go back to the north after seven days, but for nothing. They won't find their homes exist anymore. And I think the people will be shocked when they see the scale of destruction, satellite footage that we have been receiving showing a widespread destruction.

Hundreds of thousands of housing units were destroyed, most of the hospitals, most of the schools and universities. So it's a very mixed feeling in Gaza today, happy for the ceasefire and sad for the future.

Yeah, that's the big question. People have been waiting for this war to end, but also they don't know exactly who's going to be in charge. Well, in theory, there is no authority rather than Hamas to be in charge of Gaza now.

which has run the Palestinians in Ramallah, or maybe with former Palestinian authority officers, like we understand that Egypt is being in contact with some of the Palestinian experts, Palestinian, they call them technocrats, people to run the authority in Gaza. It's still not clear, and the future seems very grim for the people of Gaza.

They don't know exactly who's going to be in charge and who's going to be taking responsibility The job of rebuilding Gaza, because as I said, Gaza is devastated everywhere. It's been destroyed. Every element is destroyed, most of the house, the schools, the universities. So the future seems grim for the people of Gaza.
