# Conclusion

  1. The most affected people are evidently the innocent civilians and hostages as we can see them becoming the topic of urgency and how countries are holding them over the line to challenge each other to call a ceasefire. The most indirectly affected we could say, is the US as how they condemned the previous resolution that suggested a ceasefire that would only benefit Hamas. (From Linda Thomas-Greenfield, the US ambassador for the UN)
  2. This event is important because it shows the current situation of how food can now be no longer properly delivered and how that is dangerous to civilians. Also, this contradicts multiple annotations and coordinates on the Universal Declaration of Human Rights, such as holding hostages and holding them like commodities.
  3. This article shows the danger innocent civilians are in, and who hostages are being trade subjects for ceasefire. However, it also shows how Israel does not want to back out and win the war. They have also vowed to not stop the war until Hamas calls a ceasefire.
