Org, the war and peace report. Im amy goodman. Israelis and palestinians have agreed to an indefinite ceasefire, ending israels 50 day assault on the gaza strip. Palestinian Health Officials say 2139 people, most of them civilians, including more than 490 children, were killed in the offensive. Israels death toll stood at 64 soldiers and six civilians. The ceasefire deal was mediated by egyptian officials in cairo and took effect on tuesday evening. It calls for an immediate cessation of hostilities, and opening of gazas blockaded crossings with israel and egypt, and a widening of the territories fishing zone in the mediterranean. Israel has accepted the egyptian ceasefire proposal. We hope this time the ceasefire will stick. And i think now as the dust will begin a clear, many people will be asking, why is it that today hamas accepted the very same egyptian framework that it rejected a month ago . Ultimately, so much bloodshed could have been avoided. Theamas spokesperson said people of gaza have triumphed over israeli oppression. Week, blockaded people has one over the destructive israeli power. It has done the impossible. It has done what the air army has failed to do combined. Today, the women, children, and overly of gaza in the resilience and resistance through their mighty and legendary unity, have succeeded in recording this victory. Several thornier issues remained unaddressed by the ceasefire and are expected to hamas has committed israel release a number of its prisoners. The group has also asked for an airport and seaport in gaza. Meanwhile, israel has called for the disarmament of palestinian militant groups and the return of the remains of two of its soldiers killed in the fighting. For more we go to gaza city where were joined by the awardwinning palestinian journalist Mohammed Omer. Welcome back to democracy now can you talk about the significance of the ceasefire and israel saying, the spokesperson, that summary people did not have to die that so many people did not have to die sms had simply accepted this essentially same agreement over a month ago . I guess this is his job to say the statements over and over. He was the International Community to believe the statements. The fighting is on hold at this moment. People are trying to get back to their homes in the east of gaza city. Different parts of the gaza strip are trying to come back slightly to life. People have started have confidence after resident a bass appeared on tv yesterday saying this is a serious ceasefire and will be lasting for long. Thingss a lot of happening here. Damages and distraction. Were talking about thousands of homes have been damaged. Were talking about a massive number of people who were killed and injured. About 1800 children who became orphans in the gaza strip as a result of targeting at least 145 families in the gaza strip over the past seven weeks. The massive destruction, you wont believe just behind me, i dont know if you can see that, tower, residential apartments, which was completely destroyed by the israeli f16s. A number of these buildings have been completely destroyed. The damage is beyond imagination in gaza. I believe gaza will need several years to fix or reconstruct the damages that are caused by the Israeli Military. Were also talking to different people in gaza, and were seeing their trying to come back to their life. Their trying to rebuild their lives. The resilience is still very high among the population in gaza. Were seeing people north of the gaza strip who are facing these really watching towers, just coming back to their homes to find massive destruction after several weeks of fighting. Gaza is still great much in bad need for a humanitarian aid, which the population hopes will be coming in the coming days. Were also talking to some of the Health Officials who inform us that among the 11,000 people who were injured, there are 1 3t 3000 children and just of them will become paralyzed for the rest of their lives. What about the agreement . What exactly does this ceasefire say . , i seen thefire document which egypt has released. Blockades,asing the which is rather vague. It is a subjective term i find difficult to translate. Back to may 2010 just after the turkish attack or the attack on the turkish flotilla, we do see how much israel tries to get into the gaza strip. And easing the blockade back then [indiscernible] i hope this is not going to be the case this time. People are hopeful this is going to be holding. I am not quite confident israel is really willing to do that. If that is the case, we would be seeing all of the commercial crossings and rafah crossings would be open, but that has not been the case. Theyre hoping to get in further than the three miles they have been restricted to, but so far, we havent heard any reports from the fishermen whether they were able to get inside further than six miles. See how much of this is going to hold. But the fact it is holding right now, the ceasefire is still ongoing, and there is no fighting, which is a good chance for people to come back to their homes and check on their relatives and to bury their loved ones. Whoe are hundreds of people are running from one tent to another and many people some people are saying, we dont know our neighbors have been killed because we were under constant bombardment and attacks that we could not leave outside of our homes. Mohammed omer on tuesday, the u. N. Spokesman welcomed the ceasefire, but warned that any lasting solution must address the root causes of the conflict. Any peace effort that does not cause tackle the root causes of the crisis will do little more than seven stage for the next cycle of violence. Gaza must be brought back under one legitimate palestinian government, adhering to the plo commitments. The blockade of gaza must end. Israels legitimate security concerns must be addressed. The United Nations stands ready to support efforts to address the structural factors of conflict between israel and gaza. What does this position of the United Nations mean for the people of gaza, Mohammed Omer . This position is not new. Were talking about eight years ago, this is the same position exactly. The United Nations has called on the blockade in gaza and make life possible for the palestinians. It is up to israel. Israel decides whether gaza strip should be open or not. Talking about six miles, this is not enough when i talk to fishermen. This is not enough. Palestinians for the last your have been fishing in an area which is virtually fished out. People are fishing within three last few years. Now they are extended another three miles. Im sure they will be shut out in the coming days. People say this is going to be quite shaky ceasefire even that given there is no guarantee. It is egypt that guarantees these issues. In november 2012, the United States of america were on this agreement of ceasefire. President orsi back then and several arab states and European Unions were supporting the ceasefire, and it did not hold for more than two years. What are we expecting the ceasefire to hold for more than a year now . Im quite doubting that. People wanted to get back to their lives. They wanted to get back to normal. Hospitals are still flooded by people who are injured and need to be treated. Were talking about people, for example, those who need that have been struggling in gaza. They have not been given any chance to receive medical care because the hospitals in gaza are overwhelmed. People are hoping israel is going to abide by what it has agreed in cairo. We will see in the coming days what will happen. I think the most critical point at this stage is basically to open the rafah crossing. That will be the first step for ending the blockade on the gaza strip. But i have realized that this is not one of the items that were discussed in the cairo talk because the egyptian Officials Say this is a palestinianegyptian matter that needs to be discussed between two sides of the israel. Palestinians have to negotiate about the other crossings, but the crossings for the gaza strip, rafah, is being negotiated between palestinians and the egyptian officials. Theres hope the president abass would come. Youre just written a piece about a family. Youre in a refugee camp in northern gaza. Can you talk about this little youthat you mad . That met . Child who was sitting about five to 10 minutes from here at the hospital. He has lost quarter of his brothers. He did not know he lost them. He had lost his mother, a 40yearold woman. The mother was want to mature in playing in the northern watching the template in the northern part of gaza, trying to have a moment of relief. The children wanted to play. Her husband was preparing supper. They could not take supper because theyre all hit by several israeli airstrikes, killing the children. The childrens bodies were not identifiable. The mother also. This is one of the last family massacres that we witnessed. I have been to the scene to see people. The only thing you can smell is explosives. Damage and instruction. Damage and destruction. The smell and blood remains a witness in this area in the northern part of the gaza strip. Boy at the 10yearold shifa, does he know his brothers and mother were killed . Unfortunately, no, he doesnt. They are trying to bring it back to him, but he is semiconscious. Has lost hisow he Four Brothers and his mother. The house has been completely destroyed. Peoplere thousands of like him in hospitals across the gaza strip are really not aware of what happened to their families. Now were questioning, what is going to happen to these children who became orphans . Were talking about 1800 children become orphans. Most of these organizations that happened destroyed our childrens organizations. Supportanizations that orphans. Sponsorship childre
