Has another Nakba been averted?
Briefly

Has another Nakba been averted?
"Palestinians are returning to their homes after refusing to leave Gaza during Israel's war. Tens of thousands of Palestinians are streaming back to their land in northern Gaza a right of return included in the ceasefire deal between Hamas and Israel. Multiple attempts to remove the population have failed. Many Palestinians say they have avoided another Nakba, or catastrophe the ethnic cleansing of Palestine in 1948 and defeated Israel's forced displacement policy."
"But the land they are returning to is unrecognisable. Is Gaza uninhabitable? Or can it be rebuilt under the interim authority that next governs the strip? And does the ceasefire allow for this complex and lengthy task?

Tens of thousands of Palestinians are returning to northern Gaza after refusing to leave during Israel's war. The right of return was included in the ceasefire deal between Hamas and Israel. Multiple attempts to remove the population failed and many Palestinians say they have avoided another Nakba and defeated forced displacement efforts. Much of the land to which people are returning is unrecognisable and raises questions about habitability and reconstruction needs. Uncertainty remains about whether Gaza can be rebuilt under an interim governing authority and whether the ceasefire provisions sufficiently permit the lengthy reconstruction process.
