Senator Loren Legarda on Sunday, January 19 welcomed the reported ceasefire deal in Gaza that would pause the war between Israel and Palestinian group Hamas starting today.
The ceasefire comes after 15 months of conflict that has left Gaza in devastation, with nearly 47,000 Palestinians killed. Under the deal, 33 hostages are set to be released by Hamas over the next six weeks in exchange for hundreds of Palestinians detained by Israel.
