Tens of thousands of displaced Palestinians, mostly women, children and the elderly, began a long march on foot to return to their homes in Gaza City and the northern Strip, defying Israeli authorities. The Egyptian Ahram writes it online, quoting the Palestinian agency Ma’an, documenting with photos a long procession of people walking with their few belongings saved from destruction.
Most of them have traveled the Rashid coastal road back to Gaza as Hamas and Israel trade blame for stalled truce talks and tensions rise as Iran enters the picture.
The Al-Rashid coastal road connects the south to the north of the Strip and the long procession passed Israeli checkpoints in central Gaza unhindered, according to the Ma’an news agency. Some of the displaced families in central Gaza said they were notified by telephone by someone in the Israeli army that men over fifty, male children under 14 and women of all ages could return to the north. of the Gaza Strip, although Israel has denied having authorized the return. The AFP agency documented the march north with numerous photos.
