Displaced Palestinians Return to Gaza City After 15-Month Blockade | Israel Gaza War

Displaced Palestinian families began returning home to northern Gaza on January 27 in cars, trucks and on rickshaws that were overloaded with mattresses, food, and tents that served as shelters for over a year for those in the central and southern areas of the enclave.Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu said in a post on X on Sunday (January 26) that Palestinians would be allowed to return home starting Monday morning.This followed Qatar’s announcement on Sunday that a deal had been reached for the Palestinian militant group Hamas to hand over female Israeli hostage Arbel Yehud and two other hostages before Friday (January 31).Tens of thousands of Palestinians have waited for two days at roadblocks to return to their homes in northern Gaza, voicing frustration after Israel accused Hamas of breaching a ceasefire agreement and refused to open crossing points. n18oc_world n18oc_crux
