The joy of thousands of Palestinian families, who returned to North Gaza after a ceasefire with Israel, turns the cold reality of uninhabitable, bombarded houses and terrible lack of basic supplies.
Many complain about a lack of running water, which forces them for hours to fill plastic containers for drinking or cleaning. In most houses that can now see pile debris as far as the eye, the returnees have searched all the useful objects that remain of their property in order to build provisional tents.
At night, the residential areas involved in the dark by Israeli air raids and shelling into the darkness expends into the darkness because it is operated on electricity or fuel for the operation of standby generators.
“There is nothing, no life, no water, no food, no drink, nothing for life. Life is very, very hard. There is no Jabalia warehouse,” said Hisham El-Irs, who besides the rubble of his multi -Multi-multi-rank is Storey House in the largest and mostly densely populated eight historic Cinder block refugee camps on the Gaza Strip.
His extended family is now pushing into tents that offer little protection against the middle of the winter of Gaza.
In the late Tuesday, the Gaza authorities said that most of the 650,000 people who were driven out of the north by the war had come back to the city in Gaza Strip and at the northern edge of the enclaves, from areas in the south, in which fights are less were intense and destructive.
Many of those who returned, often loaded with which personal possessions they had after months after they had shifted as battlefields, had wandered 20 kilometers or more along the coastal road.
Fahad Abu Jalhoum returned to Jabalia with his family from the Al Mawasi area in South Gaza. But the destruction they found was so widespread that they were forced to return to the south.
“They are just ghosts without souls (in the north),” said Abu Jalhoum to Reuters back in Al Mawasi.
“We all missed the north, but when I went there I was shocked. So I returned (south) until we got relief from God.”
The humanitarian conditions of deal are not honored: Hamas
A Hamas officer who spoke on the condition of anonymity said that smaller amounts of fuel, cook gas and tents had been brought to Gaza Stripes than had been agreed in the ceasefire negotiations.
The Media’s Bureau of the Hamas Gaza government has put the initial needs of the tents at 135,000, but Hamas official said that only around 2,000 had come into force since the deal on January 19.
He also said that work on the rehabilitation of hospitals and bakeries that were triggered by the fights did not start in contrast to the deal.
“All of this has led to dissatisfaction within the (Palestinian) resistance and can influence the smooth implementation of the agreement,” he told Reuters and rejected it to become complex. “We ask the mediators and guarantees to meet the conditions of the agreement.”
Officials in Israel, who checked all entry points in Gaza, did not immediately respond to a request for comments.
3 other hostages that are to be released on Thursday
After the deal, 33 hostage of Palestinian militant in Gaza are to be freed in the first six weeks of the ceasefire in exchange for hundreds of Palestinian prisoners, many of whom live, the lifelong prisoners in Israel.
So far, seven hostages and 290 prisoners have been replaced. According to Hamas and the smaller Allied Islamic Jihad group, three more hostages are to be exchanged for ten Palestinian prisoners on Thursday.
A second stage of the deal, which begins until February 4, is intended to open the way for the release of more than 60 other hostages, including men of military age and a complete Israeli military withdrawal from Gaza.
If this is successful, a formal end of the war could follow together with the conversations about the monumental challenge of reconstruction of Gaza strip, which are now demolished by an Israeli rush, in which, according to Gazas Ministry of Health, more than 47,000 Palestinians were killed.
The conf. About 90 Israelis and foreigners stay in Gaza stripes. It is unclear how many are alive.
In Jabalia, Khamis returned to the ruins of his house in order to dig after the local bourgeois service after the corpses of his father and brother, among the approximately 10,000 people who were missing and feared in Gaza.
“I was under the rubble with my father and brother, as they are. But I did it,” said Amara.
“Life here is unbearable. To be honest, everything is a lie. Those in the south should just stay there – it is better for them.”
