Palestinians Return To Crushed Houses
KABUL: (Middle East Press) Many Gaza residents have returned to their neighborhoods in the Gaza Strip while some remained at shelters not trusting the break in the Israeli attacks on the besieged enclave.
Following the announcement of a 72-hour humanitarian, delegations to gather in the Egyptian capital of Cairo to discuss about how to stop the ceasefire.
For the first time Tuesday, the number of people packed into UN shelters decreased, said UN official Chris Gunness in Gaza. But not everyone left the UN facilities.
After the cease-fire began on Tuesday, residents trickled into Shujaya, an area near Gaza City that experienced some of the most destructive violence of the fighting.
“After the cease-fire agreement took effect, the world will now see the level of destruction which should serve as an evidence of the level of crimes of the enemy,” Ismail Haniyeh, a top Hamas official said in a statement aired on Al-Aqsa television.
One of the Gaza residents said, he was happy the shooting had stopped, but his problems were just beginning.
The man said he couldn’t understand what he was seeing — the home his family invested $100,000 in, now damaged.
No insurance company will give him money to rebuild, the man said miserably.
Nearly 1,900 Palestinians, most of them women and children, have been killed and over 9500 others injured in Gaza during the Israeli offensive.
