News of Iran ceasefire spreads as Israel continues strikes in Gaza
The Turkish president "expressed his satisfaction with the ceasefire achieved between Israel and Iran through President Trump's efforts, hoping it would be permanent," his office said
While reports of a ceasefire between Iran and Israel have begun to circulate widely, the situation in Gaza remains dire, with no sign of relief from ongoing violence.
"But here in Gaza, not only are we seeing very overcrowded hospitals, but this morning felt heavier," a report from inside Gaza reads. "The silence is much heavier than before. Not because it is peaceful, but because nothing has changed, and the bombs have not stopped falling, and the killing continues", as reported by Aljazeera.
At the emergency ward of al-Shifa Hospital, the toll of continued Israeli air strikes is becoming increasingly apparent. The facility, which was already overwhelmed, is now reaching the point of collapse.

"This place was already overwhelmed and now, it is on the verge of collapse," the report continues. "Israeli air strikes hit multiple areas across Gaza City, and the result is dozens of injured – most of them are children."
Health workers and reporters on the ground describe dire conditions inside the hospital. "As we walked between the corridors of the emergency wards, we couldn't help but notice that this place does not have enough space.
And what is going on right now is that there is no medical equipment or medical supplies and everything seems to be collapsing."
Despite the news of a broader regional ceasefire, the humanitarian crisis in Gaza shows no signs of abating, with hospitals pushed to the brink and civilians, particularly children, continuing to bear the brunt of the conflict.
