After more than 470 days of onslaught in Gaza, people in the besieged enclave can now hear the sounds of children at play rather than bombs, the head of the UN agency for Palestinian refugees said, Al Jazeera reports.
Describing a “good first day of the ceasefire”, Philippe Lazzarini, head of UNRWA, said flows of aid and some commercial supplies went smoothly on Sunday.
“The ceasefire must continue to hold and all elements of the agreement must be implemented,” Lazzarini said on social media, saying it was “a step in the right direction towards long-lasting peace and stability for all”.
