Palestinians in the Gaza City district of Shijaiyah have been met with scenes of utter destruction following the withdrawal of Israeli troops, marking the end of a two-week offensive. Civil defense workers have reported the discovery of 60 bodies amidst the rubble, highlighting the tragic toll of the conflict.
Families who had fled the intense assault have begun to return to Shijaiyah, hoping to assess the condition of their homes and salvage whatever remains. The landscape is a haunting sight, with nearly every building reduced to rubble, leaving behind piles of concrete and twisted rebar. The once bustling streets now lie in ruins, with only a few grey gutted concrete frames standing as a reminder of what once was.
