Thousands of Palestinians return to northern Gaza amid widespread destruction

Over 300,000 Palestinians have returned to northern Gaza following a ceasefire between Israel and Hamas. However, many are finding widespread devastation in the area, according to reports on the ground.

The United Nations has highlighted the immense humanitarian needs in Gaza, as the impact of the conflict remains severe. The war, which began on October 7, 2023, has resulted in more than 47,000 Palestinian deaths and over 111,000 injuries.

Meanwhile, UN experts have raised concerns about escalating tensions and repression of Palestinians in the occupied West Bank, warning of a worsening humanitarian situation.
