A long-term ceasefire has come into effect in Gaza after 50 days of conflict in which more than 2,000 people were killed, the vast majority of them Palestinians. Israel and the Palestinians reached the agreement in talks mediated by Egypt. The deal was greeted with celebratory gunfire on the streets of Gaza. Precise details of the deal remain unclear as Jeremy Bowen explains.

加沙地区50天的冲突导致2000多人丧生，其中绝大多数是巴勒斯坦人，目前长期休战协议已经开始生效。以色列和巴基斯坦在埃及的调停下达成了该协议，对此加沙街道上发射起炮火表示庆祝。协议的具体细节尚不清楚，Jeremy Bowen报道。

There are some lifting of restrictions of what can be brought into Gaza. Supposedly, there will be more negotiations coming out brokered by the Egyptians, in Egypt, in the course of the next month or so. But it's not clear exactly what the terms and conditions are and the thing which has always happened in the past is that those terms and conditions of ceasefires are open to a lot of interpretation and both sides often have different views about how it actually should work.

对加沙的某些限制已经取消，未来在埃及由埃及人斡旋更多协商，时间大约是下月。但尚不清楚协议的条款和条件，过去经常的情况是，这些条款和条件要经过大量的解释，双方对协议如何实施都有不同的观点。

The UN Secretary General Ban Ki-moon welcomed the Gaza ceasefire but said any violations would be utterly irresponsible. He added that the peace efforts must get to the root causes of the conflict.

联合国秘书长潘基文对加沙停火表示欢迎，但称任何违反行为都是完全不负责的，他说和平努力必须解决冲突的根源。

We are very concerned about what's happening to ordinary people. And one of the points that I made this afternoon is that, during the seminar, when the winter is coming and there are places that don't have any power, places that don't have the capacity to provide heating. And there are people who are displaced and this is an area that we need to focus on now because time moves forward.

President Hollande had indicated that he wanted a government of clarity. Much of his inner core stays the same. Laurant Fabius remains as foreign minister. Michel Sapin stays in charge of finance. The new face is Emmanuel Macron, who takes over the sensitive portfolio of the economy. He used to an economic advisor to the president and is regarded as pro-business. Missing were the ministers who had been most critical of austerity and of reducing budget deficits.

奥朗德总统表示他希望有个明晰的政策，而核心职位很多保持不变。洛朗·费比乌斯仍是外交部长，米歇尔·萨班仍主管财政。新面孔是即将负责敏感的经济一揽子方案的马克隆，他之前是总统的经济顾问，被视为是支持商业的人士。消失的面孔是那些批评紧缩政策和减少预算赤字的部长们。
