Moments after she returned to her home in the wealthy neighborhood in northern Gaza, 44 -year -old Sabreen Zanon said that she was soaked in a mixture of emotions.

“We are happy to see our family again … [but] “It is very sad that it makes you cry – destroyed houses, ruins,” she told the BBC.

“People will only come here to walk because of the beautiful scene. Now it is often ruined.”

Sabreen was one of the hundreds of thousands of Palestinians displaced to return to their homes, or their ruins in their place, in northern Gaza on Monday.

The collective return comes for a week to the ceasefire deal between Israel and Hamas aimed at ending the war permanently more than 15 months ago.

Like others in Gaza, she had been displaced several times over the war, but the last of which was in the central city of Deir Al -Bala.

She joined “Flood of People” who traveled on foot along Al -Rashid Al -Sahili Street – a road that opened on the Ghazan of the displaced early Monday morning.

A Gaza security official told Agence France -Presse news agency that more than 200,000 people crossed the north of the tape on foot in a period of two hours.

The Palestinians spoke to the BBC while they were doing the trip.

“It was very long and tiring,” said Israa Shaheen, who is 24 years old, shortly after her arrival in Gaza City.

“Until the middle of the road, people were happy and sing and things like that, but then it was time to take a long time. People began to feel joy again.”

Others made the car along a different road.

“There are thousands of people here. They fill the entire road … We are very happy, but I also feel sad because I know that I will reach Gaza City, but my house is no longer there.” She said on the phone approaching the checkpoint.

When people reached their destinations, they talked about their shock when he was standing in their societies.

Muhammad’s agent, Al -Din, who was waiting at the checkpoint, returned to find his destroyed house, looted his saliva and was damaged by an Israeli strike near.

Loubna Nassar was waiting for her two daughters and her son, and she reunited her with her husband. But while he had survived, their house went.

She said: “I have overwhelmed the warmth of reunification because of the bitter reality – we no longer have a house so we moved from a tent in the south to a tent in the north.”

Others are still waiting to make trips to the home or decide on their next steps.

One of the men said that he “will run to the north as I was in a race” if he did not have his pregnant wife and his little daughter with him. Instead, they hoped that the large crowds would pass, and slowly start their journey to the home. He said they expect to find a lot of their neighborhood.

“We hope this war will end and we will rebuild everything that is destroyed,” he said.

Another said his brother said he told him not to return now. “He called and said … homes are demolished on the ground. People sleep in the streets and no one helps them.”

In the wealthy neighborhood of Tal Al -Hurra, Sabreen said she was grateful to return with her family and in a house that still exists.

She said: “He is mostly ruins and destruction. Anyone who finds his house still exists, or even just a room, must consider himself lucky.”
