At least 3,823 people killed, more than 1.2 million displaced and estimated economic losses of $8.5bn.

Lebanon’s prime minister is calling Hezbollah’s nearly 14-month conflict with Israel the “cruellest phase” in the country’s history.

The ceasefire offers hope for a return to peace and a chance for people to rebuild their lives.

But the agreement has raised questions:

Is the underfunded Lebanese army in a position to enforce the terms of the deal?

And how fragile will the situation be in the next 60 days, when Israeli troops and Hezbollah fighters withdraw from southern Lebanon?
