Gazans return home as ceasefire begins | BBC News


Thousands of Palestinians have begun returning to Gaza’s north, after the ceasefire agreement between Israel and Hamas came into effect on Friday.

As part of the first phase of the agreement, Hamas has until 12:00 local time (10:00 BST) on Monday to release Israeli hostages, while Israel is set to release around 250 Palestinian prisoners and 1,700 detainees from Gaza.

US President Donald Trump said Hamas is gathering the Israeli hostages “now”, adding that he’s confident the Gaza deal he helped broker will "hold”.

For the Palestinians heading north, they return to territory that has been largely destroyed by two years of war, including nearly three-quarters of all buildings in Gaza City.
