A ceasefire means that two sides in a fight agree to stop shooting or attacking each other. It can happen when one side decides to stop or when both sides talk and agree together. A ceasefire does not always mean the war is over, but it helps make space for peace talks or to take care of wounded people. In wars, sometimes countries use this quiet time to rest their soldiers, check how strong the other side is, or talk about peace. Even though helping sick or hurt people is important, the main reason for a ceasefire is often about military plans and decisions.
