The ceasefire deal was announced on Wednesday and will see a pause in the fighting take effect at 6.30am GMT on Sunday, mediator Qatar said.

Amer al-Sultan has been covering the war in Gaza as a reporter, but this week he became the story when nine members of his family were killed in an IDF strike two days before the Israel-Hamas ceasefire was due to begin.

After news of a ceasefire agreement sparked mass rejoicing in Gaza, residents woke up to columns of smoke, rubble and more deaths following new Israeli air strikes.
