ANC welcomes Gaza ceasefire
Updated | By Catrine Malan

"This agreement comes after almost two months of relentless and ruthless fighting which led to unwarranted bloodshed, displacement, and destruction in the region," spokesman Zizi Kodwa said in a statement.
"It is the ANC's hope that all parties involved will use this period to move beyond just an indefinite halt of hostilities to building genuine and lasting peace."
According to Agence France-Presse, the accord for a long-term ceasefire came into effect on Tuesday.
A Palestinian official told the news agency the truce was finalised after 48 hours of negotiations.
Since the conflict began on July 8, 2143 Palestinians and 70 Israelis have been killed.
