Amid the tense fighting in the Middle East between Israel and Hamas, many people around the world are calling for a resumption of the recent ceasefire after Israel's accidental killing of three hostages. Three Israeli hostages were killed by the IDF in Gaza recently after some confusion in the violent area, and the army thought the the hostages were Palestinians trying to escape. Citizens of the world are now realizing the damage that Israel has done to Gaza and is calling for a stop to the war as Israel has taken it too far, and almost 19,000 Palestinians have been confirmed dead. Aid is trickling into the strip, but it is not enough to save the thousands of people whose lives are on the line. However, Hamas continues to hold over 100 people hostage, and Israel will not stop until they are freed.
