Hundreds of thousands of Palestinians have been returning to the north of Gaza as part of a ceasefire deal between Israel and Hamas. Many residents found nothing but rubble where their homes used to stand.

Khamis and Ahmad Imarah knew they wouldn’t find much more than rubble when returning to their home in northern Gaza. But they had to go. Their father and brother are still buried under the debris, more than a year after their home was struck by Israeli forces.
