Palestinians Returning to Northern Gaza

Hundreds of thousands of Palestinians have begun returning to the northern Gaza Strip after a ceasefire allowed movement following 15 months of war. This arrangement follows Hamas's agreement to release more Israeli hostages, leading Israel to reciprocate by releasing some Palestinian prisoners. However, many returning families are returning to homes that no longer exist, highlighting the severe destruction faced during the conflict. The situation remains fragile, as the future of these exchanges is uncertain, especially as new information regarding the hostages continues to emerge.
