Following a ceasefire agreement between Israel and Hamas, internally displaced Palestinians are finally returning home.

Rafah was home to over a million Palestinians displaced from the Israel-Hamas war. Now, Palestinians in Gaza wade through rubble to see what remains.

While some Palestinians were able to dig up miscellaneous items deep under the rubble, many felt hopeless after dreaming about the possibility of returning to their homes and repairing or rebuilding them.

Israeli officials attempted to downplay reports of the Palestinian Authorities’ role in Gaza and the possibility of a two-state solution that would help normalize relations with Saudi Arabia.

Palestinians in Gaza are confronting an apocalyptic landscape of devastation after a ceasefire paused more than 15 months of fighting between Israel and Hamas.

Hamas has named 4 female Israeli soldiers it says will be freed as part of the second hostage-prisoner swap, as the Gaza ceasefire endures.

The ceasefire in Gaza between Israel and Hamas stretched into a fifth day on Thursday. Humanitarian aid groups are working to surge food and supplies to the war-ravaged territory as Palestinians scour through mountains of rubble.

Israel will maintain control of the Rafah border crossing between Egypt and Gaza during the initial ceasefire phase with Hamas. The Palestinian Authority will not manage the crossing, and vetted Palestinians will stamp passports.

The Hamas militant group has published the names of four hostages it says it will release the following day as part of the ceasefire in the Gaza Strip.

Hamas has announced the names of the next four hostages it will release this weekend as part of a ceasefire deal with Israel. The truce is supposed to halt fighting

Hundreds of truckloads of food, fuel and other supplies have arrived in Gaza each day since the cease-fire took effect. But the need is vast after 15 months of war.
