A passenger bus in the state of Minas Gerais in Brazil collided with a truck loaded with tiles and caught fire. In the accident, 22 people in the 45-seater bus lost their lives; 13 passengers were rescued alive. Three people in another vehicle that was stuck under the truck also survived.
It was learned that the accident occurred because the tire of the bus burst.
Palestinians celebrated the ceasefire agreement reached between Israel and Hamas after indirect talks in Egypt, marking the first step of a broader peace plan involving hostage exchanges and Israeli troop withdrawals. Crowds, including children displaced by Israeli attacks, gathered around Al-Aqsa Martyrs’ Hospital to celebrate the end of the fighting. Residents in Maghazi Refugee Camp expressed hopes for rebuilding Gaza and establishing a Palestinian state. “Thank God, the war is over. Our homes were destroyed, and our children killed. We thank everyone who helped end this war,” said Yasser Abu Hein. Others shared optimism that Gaza would “return better than before.”
Israel confirmed that the ceasefire would begin following a cabinet vote later in the day.
