The group questioned the ceasefire agreement announced in Egypt, saying it has not brought safety to people living through the conflict.
Their statement opened with the question, "Where is the ceasefire that was signed in Egypt?!" They went on to say that more than 20 innocent people are still being killed every day and stressed that those who have died are not statistics but real people with families, children, and loved ones.
The team also said that the ceasefire has not stopped the violence or reunited families who have lost children.
According to their post, the agreement has become "nothing but words" while civilians continue to suffer.

The statement continued with a direct message to world leaders, asking how much longer people in Gaza would have to live with promises that, in their view, have failed to protect civilians.
They also called for an end to what they described as hypocrisy and ceasefires that do not last.
The full post reads:
“Where is the ceasefire that was signed in Egypt?!”
Every day, more than 20 innocent people die.. people like us. They are not numbers — they are fathers, children, families erased from the book of life.
The ceasefire they celebrated didn’t stop a single bullet, and didn’t return a single child to their mother’s arms. It’s nothing but words that suit our dead bodies, and deals made at the expense of our blood.
How long will we keep paying for your empty promises? How long will your ceasefires remain a cover for our killing?
O world: enough hypocrisy.. enough ceasefires that end before they even begin.”
