Ismael Mohammed, 47, and his family, who were displaced to the southern part of Gaza at Israel’s order during the war, gather at the rubble of their destroyed house after returning amid a ceasefire between Israel and Hamas, in Jabalia, northern Gaza Strip, January 28, 2025. Through long stretches, the road traversed districts of near total ruin, with mounds of rubble lining each side where buildings had stood; in Jabalia they surveyed the ruins. Much of the neighbourhood had been flattened. “There is joy, but it is not complete. There is no home, no water, no food. I do not know how I am going to sleep tonight,” said Ismael.
