Hundreds of thousands of Palestinians are returning to northern Gaza following a ceasefire between Hamas and Israel. Many are shocked by the extent of the destruction, with entire homes reduced to rubble. Adham Bartawi described finding his family home partially demolished, with only two rooms and a bathroom intact. The UN estimates 70% of Gaza's buildings have been damaged since October 2023, and humanitarian efforts are ramping up to provide aid. While some have returned to find nothing, others are preparing for the journey back despite knowing their homes are likely destroyed.
