Ceasefire
A ceasefire is a temporary agreement to stop fighting in a conflict. It is not a permanent end to a war, but a pause that can allow for humanitarian aid to reach people, for negotiations to take place, or for other temporary arrangements. Ceasefires can be local, affecting only a small area, or more widespread.
