Because we have come to a point, after all, a ceasefire was declared and the occupying forces that did this accepted the people who were subjected to this oppression, even though it was hard. So, even though it is even harder today, we should never deviate from this path. We should do our best."

Dozens of Turkish doctors gathered in front of Istanbul’s Hagia Sophia mosque on Saturday, expressing cautious optimism over a newly-brokered ceasefire between Hamas and Israel.

Protesters held banners with messages such as "We want the reconstruction of the demolished hospitals" and "I’m a doctor, not a target!"

Dr. Emirhan Celikpercin, one of the organisers, called the ceasefire a significant step for Gaza. "This is a victory for Gaza because it has raised hopes," he said.
