Anera welcomes the announcement of a ceasefire agreement that includes a path forward for Palestinians in Gaza who have faced overwhelming suffering over the past two years. We remain cautiously optimistic that this agreement will be respected and fully implemented by all parties. Under this plan, aid is expected to begin entering Gaza in large volumes through five crossings and Anera stands ready to deliver that assistance throughout Gaza to those in dire need. The international community must ensure that this ceasefire holds and that humanitarian aid flows unfettered so families can begin to rebuild their lives in Gaza. We will be watching actions, not just words.
