Deir el-Balah, Gaza Strip, Palestine – Palestinians in the Gaza Strip woke up on Thursday to the sound of renewed bombing, adding trepidation to the joy they felt at the news that a ceasefire had been agreed between Israel and the Palestinian group Hamas the night before.
They hope that announcement will mean an end to Israel’s 15-month war, which has killed more than 46,700 Palestinians and left thousands more missing. But their memories of the war will not go away any time soon.
