Ismael Mohammed, 47, who was displaced with his family to the southern part of Gaza at Israel’s order during the war, rests with his children near the rubble of their destroyed house after returning to it amid a ceasefire between Israel and Hamas, in Jabalia, northern Gaza Strip, January 30, 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.
