Half a Million Displaced Palestinians Return to Northern Gaza Amid Ceasefire ✌️🏠

In a dramatic shift following months of conflict, over 500,000 displaced Palestinians have returned to northern Gaza in just 72 hours, according to a Wednesday statement from the Hamas-run media office. 🚶♂️🌍

Israel began permitting returns via Al-Rashid and Salah Al-Din roads this week after a ceasefire paused 15 months of fighting. Families lugged belongings through rubble-strewn streets, signaling cautious hope as \"the roar of drones faded,\" a resident told local sources.

Meanwhile, prisoner swaps are underway: Hamas’s Al-Qassam Brigades pledged to release three Israeli detainees Thursday, while Israel reportedly plans to free 110 Palestinian prisoners. 🔄⚖️

Gaza’s health authorities reported 63 new deaths in 24 hours, with total casualties since October 2023 now at 47,417 dead and 111,571 injured. Hospitals remain overwhelmed, facing shortages of supplies and electricity. 🏥🚑

While the ceasefire offers temporary relief, experts warn sustainable peace hinges on \"addressing root causes of displacement\". For now, returnees face rebuilding lives amid shattered infrastructure—one tent, one meal at a time. 🕊️
