More than 300,000 Palestinians returned to Gaza City, authorities say

Palestinians, who were displaced to the south at Israel's order during the war, make their way back to their homes in northern Gaza, amid a ceasefire between Israel and Hamas, near Gaza City, Jan. 27, 2025. Displaced Palestinians arrive in the northern Gaza Strip, following Israel's decision to allow thousands of them to go back for the first time since the early weeks of the 15-month war with Hamas, Jan. 27, 2025.

The Hamas-run government in the Gaza Strip said more than 300,000 people displaced by the Israel-Hamas war returned Monday to northern Gaza after Israel opened checkpoints and allowed people back into the area.
