A tide of humanity heads back to Gaza City, carrying belongings through damaged highways and ruins left by Israel.

11 Oct 2025

Tens of thousands of forcibly displaced Palestinians are making their way back to devastated areas in northern Gaza as Israeli forces stop operations as agreed under phase one of the ceasefire plan with Hamas, and partially withdraw.

Gaza’s al-Rashid Street, which has witnessed massive population movements northward and southward over recent months as Palestinians fled Israeli attacks, is once again witnessing a tide of humanity on the move.

Now, with the ceasefire in effect and Israeli forces withdrawn from the Netzarim Corridor that previously divided the road, tens of thousands of Palestinians are journeying north – hoping this time to return permanently.

“Once again [displaced Palestinians] are taking the same exact road, the only lifeline for Palestinians now to go back to their homes in Gaza and the northern part [of the enclave],” reported Al Jazeera correspondent Hani Mahmoud from the central Gaza coastal highway.

1. They will need food certainly for years to come, but also many plants and building materials.

The IDF deliberately destroyed olive groves and orchards to deny Palestinians part of their food supply. They have also prevented them from fishing. I doubt they will have potable water because the IDF destroyed the desalination facilities. I hope world governments will be generous and help them recover.

3. I am afraid

That Natty Ya Hoo will shit on Trump’s plan and after many return, he uses them as a shooting gallery.
Just bringing them out in the open to complete his genocide wet dream.
Trust trump and Natty, sure, they have earned that from their actions for years.
