Thousands of Gaza City residents who fled their homes to safer areas in central and southern Gaza have returned only to find what they once called homes reduced to rubble. “Is that what is left of Gaza? We are returning to no homes and no shelter for our kids, and winter is approaching,” Shreen Aboul Yakhni, who was displaced from Bait Lahiya, said in despair, adding that she has not been able to find a sip of water for her children. Many took whatever belongings they had on them when they were displaced and once the ceasefire was announced on Friday immediately headed north as the Israeli army withdrew.
