I welcome @POTUS’s announcement about the ceasefire in #Gaza and hostage release — it is indeed a big step towards lasting peace for both Israelis and Palestinians. I hope all parties will respect the agreement, so the suffering of all civilians finally ends and all hostages are brought home respectfully.
@WHO stands ready to scale up its work to meet the dire health needs of patients across Gaza, and to support rehabilitation of the destroyed health system.
The best medicine is peace.

The best place to relax is near water.
After just 2 minutes of viewing water outdoors, blood pressure and heart rate drop. It's more calming to look at a lake, pool, or stream than trees or grass.
Beaches are popular for a reason. Wider bodies of water bring more tranquility.
So impressed at @davis_chirchir technical know how and well articulated plans in today's @citizentvkenya big conversation on State of Electricity in Kenya.
