STORYLINE:
Hundreds of people marched in Karachi on Monday to celebrate the ceasefire in the Israel-Hamas war.
People filled the streets waving Palestinian flags and chanting.
“We congratulate Hamas and the people of Gaza,” said Hafiz Naeem ur Rehman, Chief of the Jamaat e Islami political party.
“We believe that Hamas had a legitimate right to fight against an occupying force. They struggled and succeeded in achieving their aim,” he added.
After 15 months of collective grief and anxiety, three Israeli hostages left Hamas captivity and returned to Israel, and dozens of Palestinian prisoners walked free from Israeli jail, leaving both Israelis and Palestinians torn between celebration and trepidation as the ceasefire between Israel and Hamas took hold on Sunday.
The skies above Gaza and Israel were silent for the first time in over a year, and Palestinians began returning to what was left of the homes they fled across the war-ravaged enclave, started to check on relatives left behind and, in many cases, to bury their dead.
After months of tight Israeli restrictions, more than 600 trucks carrying humanitarian aid rolled into the devastated territory.
