After more than a year of suffering, loss, and displacement, the people of Gaza have finally begun their long-awaited return. On this emotional Monday morning, displaced individuals poured into the northern Gaza Strip, chanting "Allahu Akbar" as they made

their way home. Their joy was palpable, despite the destruction and loss they endured.
For many, returning to Gaza is a moment of triumph over hardship. "There is nothing like the love for one’s homeland," said one returnee, while another held up a sign reading, "We have grown old waiting for this moment."

Gaza, reunited after months of separation, is greeted by medical teams and civil defence crews, ensuring the safety of those returning. Murals painted in celebration bear messages like "Gaza welcomes you" and "Thank God for your safety," capturing the immense relief and pride of the Palestinian people.
