A: Hey Hana, did you hear any news today? It’s pretty sad.

B: No, what’s up, Kenji?

A: Apparently, even though there’s supposed to be a ceasefire in Gaza… a lot of people have died.

B: Seriously? I thought the ceasefire was working! How many?

A: Over 500 people, the authorities are saying. It started back in October.

B: Wow, that's terrible. What's happening?

A: Israel says Hamas broke the agreement, so they've been doing attacks sometimes. They claim they were hitting weapons places.

B: But then people are getting hurt? I read something about buildings…

A: Yeah, Palestinian media says people died when buildings and tents were hit. It happened in the north and south.

B: That’s awful! So, what’s being done about it?

A: Well, the US was talking about moving to a new phase of a peace plan. Demilitarization and rebuilding Gaza, stuff like that.

B: Oh, I remember reading about that. Is someone in charge?

A: Apparently, there's a "Board of Peace" led by President Trump to help with things.

B: That's a mouthful. Sounds complicated.

A: It is. But with so many deaths happening, I don't know how helpful it will be. It’s really worrying.
