Joy and excitement as displaced Palestinians return to northern Gaza for first time since war began

Monday, January 27, 2025
Hundreds of thousands of displaced Palestinians are returning as part of a ceasefire deal between Hamas and Israel. They are moving on foot along the Al-Rashid coastal road. For the first time since the early weeks of the 15-month war, Israeli military forces are allowing them to cross the Netzarim corridor. Upon arrival in northern Gaza, they are met with scenes of devastation. The humanitarian crisis remains severe after more than 90 days of an Israeli siege, during which hospitals were attacked, aid was denied, and water supplies were cut off.

Al Jazeera’s Hani Mahmoud is covering from Al Rasheed Road in Gaza, where people are heading north on foot, while Ibrahim Al Khalili is reporting from Gaza City. Tareq Abu Azzoum is on Salah Al Deen Road, where Palestinians are waiting to head north by car.
