More than 300,000 displaced Palestinians have flocked to the most devastated area of Gaza after Israel opened the road north for the first time since the start of the war with Hamas. Crowds of people, some carrying babies in their arms, with strollers or luggage on their backs, described whole kilometers to the cheers, even though what awaited them there was total destruction. According to a Hamas official, about 90 percent of the displaced people in Gaza who return to the northern strip do not have a home to stay in.
According to him, residents are walking for more than 8 kilometers on destroyed roads, and there are no resources available to welcome them. Many of the returnees spent the night in the open. Gaza resident
"We have been here for hours and no one has come to see us. Look how we are standing, on the streets. No one has cared about our conditions. The children are devastated, and we cannot even communicate with other relatives who have arrived," says a Gaza resident.
Meanwhile, Israelis continue to hold their breath for the hostages still in the hands of Hamas. The question of whether they are still alive inside Gaza has tormented their families for months, as until now the information has been unclear.
But on Monday, a government spokesman announced that they had obtained a list from Hamas showing that eight of the 33 hostages expected to be returned during the first phase of the ceasefire had died. He said that the families had been informed and the information matched the suggestions of their intelligence agencies.
Seven hostages, all women, have been released since the ceasefire began, and six more will be released by the end of the week. The hostages range in age from 2 to 86, and some are said to be in poor health. (A2 Televizion)
