JAKARTA - The United Nations (OCHA) Humanitarian Affairs Coordinating Office said on Monday, about 436,000 or 92 percent of homes in the Gaza Strip, Palestine were destroyed or damaged by Israeli aggression, while 90 percent of Palestinian civilians fled their homes.
"The announcement of the ceasefire is a source of hope, but the challenges ahead are tough," said WHO representative in Palestine, Rick Peeperkorn, as reported by WAFA January 20.
He added that dealing with enormous needs and restoring the health system would be a complicated and difficult task, given the scale and complexity of operations and obstacles involved.
It is known that a ceasefire between Hamas and Israel in the Gaza Strip took effect yesterday at 11:15 a.m., after being delayed for more than two and a half hours.
It follows the announcement of a ceasefire agreement and hostages reached after months of mediation by Qatar, Egypt, and the United States, which was carried out last week.
The latest conflict in Gaza broke out on October 7, 2023, when a Palestinian militant group led by Hamas attacked Israel's southern region, leaving 1,200 people dead and 250 others held hostage, according to Israeli calculations.
