Celebrations in Gaza following a ceasefire between Israel and Hamas quickly turned to dismay as many Palestinians returned to find their homes destroyed. The ceasefire, mediated by the US, Egypt, and Qatar, allowed IDF forces to withdraw, but extensive damage left many without homes. Cities like Khan Younis and Rafah faced severe destruction, with infrastructure in ruins and a dire need for hospitals. While some returnees found their homes intact, the overall toll of the war has been devastating, with over 46,000 Palestinians killed and 90% of the population displaced. Rebuilding efforts are expected to take years, with significant financial costs projected. Teljes cikk (Euronews.com)
