Displaced Palestinians have been returning to northern Gaza following the Israel-Hamas ceasefire deal. Yet no official or international body has provided these refugees with temporary shelters, drinking water or humanitarian aid, despite these provisions being part of the ceasefire agreement. The poor conditions are pushing many to return to the South in a “reverse displacement.”
The Palestinian Health Ministry says at least 1,000 healthcare workers have been killed in the war in Gaza. Those on a mission to save lives are losing their own in what some human rights groups say are systemic and targeted attacks on medical facilities in Gaza.
After nine months of war, most Palestinians in Gaza have been displaced multiple times. Often that leaves the sense of being at home, even a destroyed home, fading from their consciousness.
Israel says it is establishing a buffer zone inside Gaza along the strip’s border, as part of its efforts to guarantee security and avoid another Oct. 7. But it’s already led to the destruction of thousands of buildings and acres of agricultural land. In other words: Occupation.
