Arab News Pakistan and the Associated Press of Pakistan explicitly noted the one-year anniversary of the ceasefire, while Dawn and Daily Times provided slightly different phrasing without the time frame. Minute Mirror briefly mentioned the 800,000 displaced people and the need for humanitarian aid, but did not highlight it as a central point.
