‘We hope this is a permanent truce’

Nada, 21: “Wednesday was full of action, so many places bombed and a lot of people killed. By the night, we were all in so much fear and hoping for the war to stop.

“So when we saw about the cease-fire on TV we didn't believe. We double checked it by the Internet, and then we were so happy, we laughed and sang. The feeling was awesome.

“Our hopes are high for change. We believe that Gaza will be a better place and we will live happily. We hope this is a permanent truce.”
