The Ä¢¹½ÊÓÆµ Development Programme (Ä¢¹½ÊÓÆµDP) welcomes the announcement of an agreement reached today to secure a ceasefire, humanitarian access, and the release of all hostages from Gaza.
We echo the Ä¢¹½ÊÓÆµ Secretary-General¡¯s call on all concerned to abide fully by the terms of the agreement, hoping that this development will be the beginning of a new path for people who have endured two years of a brutal war.
As the Ä¢¹½ÊÓÆµ continues to work to address the immediate humanitarian needs, we also recognise a long road ahead to bring back safety, dignity, stability, and opportunity to all Palestinians who have lost everything in this conflict.
Ä¢¹½ÊÓÆµDP stands ready to support the Palestinian people and calls for immediate international support to help restore their lives and livelihoods.
