1:07Now PlayingThe United States on Thursday pledged to work with international partners to support the reconstruction effort in Gaza after a ceasefire was announced.
US Ambassador to the United Nations Linda Thomas-Greenfield told reporters the urgent humanitarian needs in Gaza are "significantly immense."
She spoke shortly after Israel and Hamas announced a ceasefire would went into effect at 2 a.m. Friday, ending an 11-day war that caused widespread destruction in the Gaza Strip and brought life in much of Israel to a halt.
The fighting killed at least 227 in Gaza and 12 in Israel.
Thomas-Greenfield said the focus must now turn to "making more tangible progress toward a durable peace."
"The announcement of today's ceasefire, if it holds, brings us one step closer to that goal," the US diplomat said.
