An awakening “without bombings, without Israeli operations in Gaza” on the first day of the ceasefire in the Palestinian enclave. A day when “everyone is happy, people take to the streets” and when the Palestinian refugees who moved south through the corridors created by the Israeli army “began a journey in the opposite direction, to the north. “ “Go and see what is left of their houses,” Palestinian aid worker Sami Abu Omar from Khan Younis, a town not spared from Israeli raids in the Gaza Strip, told Adnkronos. “The streets are full of people, especially in the south” of the Palestinian enclave, “since people in the north cannot move, there are many Israeli army checkpoints preventing movement.”
In the background, the 12-year-old son sings, in the words of Abu Omar, of relief: “After 49 days of war, this is the first time that we no longer hear the noise of the fighter-bombers, we no longer hear the drones.” The sky, all is calm. “We hope to be able to sleep peacefully for three nights, as there were air strikes up to a minute before the ceasefire came into force.” But there is also “the hope that even more humanitarian aid will arrive in these four days.” “We have nothing more, there is nothing left in the stores, zero.”
