Extraordinary footage showing thousands of Palestinians making emotional journey home

The Scottish Sun, Jan 27, 2025

Drone footage captured on Monday (January 27) showed large crowds of Palestinians returning to Gaza City on foot under a ceasefire deal between Hamas and Israel.

Tens of thousands of Palestinians streamed along the main roads leading north in Gaza on Monday after Hamas agreed to hand over three Israeli hostages later this week and Israeli forces began to withdraw from a main corridor across the enclave.

Witnesses said the first residents arrived in Gaza City in the early morning after the first crossing point in central Gaza opened at 7:00 a.m. (0500 GMT). Another crossing opened around three hours later, letting in vehicles.
