Since the ceasefire between Israel and Hamas, displaced families returning to northern Gaza are facing shocking levels of destruction. UN figures indicate that 90% of homes are either damaged or completely destroyed. Children are particularly affected, suffering trauma from the devastation and lack of basic needs like water and healthcare. Tess Ingram of Unicef highlights the emotional toll on families, many of whom had clung to hope that their neighborhoods might have been spared, only to find their expectations crushed upon return.

Nine in 10 homes in the territory have been destroyed or damaged, UN figures show.
