Gaza Ceasefire Tensions: Displaced Families Await Return Home

🚨 Thousands of displaced Palestinian families remain stuck in limbo amid escalating tensions between Israel and Hamas, as a fragile ceasefire deal threatens to unravel. The latest flashpoint? A disputed prisoner exchange that has delayed the return of residents to northern Gaza.

Hamas claims she’s alive and will be freed 'next week,' but Israel has responded by postponing troop withdrawals from Gaza, blocking families from returning north. 🕊️

With over 20,000 homes reportedly destroyed in Gaza, displaced residents are pleading for access to assess damage and salvage belongings.

What’s Next?
