The Palestinian Civil Defense has issued a statement congratulating the people of Gaza on the agreed ceasefire-hostage deal set to commence on Sunday morning. The organization emphasized the importance of prioritizing safety during this transitional period.
In a video message released on Saturday, spokesperson Mahmoud Basal stressed the significance of safeguarding lives above all else. He urged residents of Gaza to exercise caution and refrain from entering areas specified in the ceasefire agreement until the designated time.
Basal specifically highlighted the need for vigilance among individuals returning to the northern part of Gaza City and those traveling south towards Rafah or regions along the eastern border. He warned of potential dangers posed by military remnants that may have been left behind by the Israeli occupation forces in these areas.
The primary objective of the ceasefire, according to Basal, is to ensure the protection of lives. He reiterated the Civil Defense's commitment to promoting safety and security within the community.
As the ceasefire agreement comes into effect, the Palestinian Civil Defense continues to advise residents to remain cautious and adhere to safety guidelines. By prioritizing their well-being and avoiding potentially hazardous areas, individuals can contribute to maintaining a secure environment in Gaza.
