Tue Jan 28 16:45:05 UTC 2025: ## Gaza Faces Long Road to Recovery After Ceasefire, UNICEF Warns
**GAZA CITY, January 24** – Three days after a fragile ceasefire between Israel and Hamas took effect, the scale of devastation in Gaza remains staggering, according to UNICEF. At least 46,000 Palestinians have been killed, and two-thirds of all buildings are damaged or destroyed, leaving the territory in ruins.
In a recent interview, UNICEF Gaza Communications Specialist Rosalia Bollen highlighted the immense challenges facing the Palestinian population, particularly children, in the wake of the conflict. While the ceasefire offers a respite from the violence, Bollen cautioned that the path to recovery will be long and arduous. She emphasized the urgent need for humanitarian aid and support to rebuild homes, infrastructure, and lives shattered by weeks of intense fighting.
Despite the ceasefire, reports indicate that further violence has already occurred, casting a shadow over hopes for lasting peace. The situation underscores the fragility of the truce and the immense task ahead in addressing the humanitarian crisis in Gaza. UNICEF’s statement serves as a stark reminder of the long-term consequences of the conflict and the critical need for sustained international support.
