ENGLISH WITH NEWS
Ceasefire Marks New Chapter in Israel-Hamas Conflict
After 15 months of devastating conflict, a ceasefire between Israel and Hamas has brought cautious hope. The truce, mediated by Qatar and other international parties, started with the release of hostages and prisoners. However, challenges persist as both sides remain wary of each other, and displaced civilians in Gaza face monumental humanitarian crises.
Key Words:
Ceasefire (n.) - An agreement to stop fighting temporarily, especially in war.
Example: The ceasefire allowed aid to reach the war-torn areas.
Hostage (n.) - A person seized or held as security for the fulfillment of a condition.
Example: The hostages were reunited with their families after months of captivity.
Humanitarian (adj.) - Concerned with or seeking to promote human welfare.
Example: Humanitarian aid is crucial for those affected by the conflict.
This ceasefire offers a moment of pause and a chance for recovery, though the road ahead will require sustained international cooperation and local resilience. (BBC
