[Muslim Aid UK @Muslim_Aid]

Muslim Aid welcomes the ceasefire deal that has been implemented in Gaza, recognising it as a vital step towards alleviating the suffering endured by the Palestinian people.

We hope for humanitarian corridors to open for us to provide relief and rebuild Gaza.

[World Vision UK @WorldVisionUK]

World Vision welcomes the ceasefire as a glimmer of hope, but the humanitarian situation remains catastrophic.

While the pause in hostilities is a positive step, the broader situation across the region remains fragile. Conflict, continued violence, movement restrictions and economic collapse in the West Bank are all having devastating effects on livelihoods and children’s futures.

The ceasefire in Gaza offers a hopeful opportunity to address these challenges and renew commitments to justice, stability, and peace for everyone.
