Gaza Ceasefire: Residents Return Amid Devastation

As Gaza residents return to their homes following a ceasefire between Israel and Hamas, they are confronted with widespread devastation and personal loss. Thousands of residents, like Aya Hassouna, return alone after losing family members in the conflict, grappling with grief as they navigate destroyed neighborhoods. Despite the destruction, some, like Widyan Shaat and Ameer Hasanain, find solace in seeing their homes still standing, though the fear of further conflict looms. The ceasefire has allowed displaced families, such as Ismael Mohammed's, to return north, despite the challenges posed by injuries and lack of basic resources. International voices, including UK Prime Minister Keir Starmer, emphasize the need for a two-state solution and rebuilding efforts for Gaza's people. Meanwhile, the humanitarian situation remains dire, with severe shortages of essential supplies, as families attempt to rebuild their lives amid the ruins.
