Residents of Khan Younis in southern Gaza have begun to return to their homes after the Israeli military withdrew its forces, only to find extensive destruction and ruins. Many homes and multistory buildings have been reduced to rubble, leaving families shocked and devastated.
The evacuation order issued by Israeli forces on July 22 led to a mass displacement, with over 150,000 people fleeing the area, leaving behind their possessions and livelihoods. Families journeyed back on foot, in cars, and even donkey carts, navigating through dusty roads lined with flattened buildings and debris.
