Gazans are returning to destroyed homes on the second day of a ceasefire between Israel and Hamas. Families who lived in tents for months are inspecting rubble where their homes once stood. Ayat Abedrabo, a mother of nine, said it was the first night without the sound of drones or bombs. "Our children slept without fear," she shared, though sadness lingers for lives lost. Freed British-Israeli hostage Emily Damari expressed gratitude, calling her release a "new life." Ninety Palestinian prisoners were also released, with reunions filled with tears of joy. The ceasefire offers hope, but uncertainty remains for the future.
