Gaza ceasefire – 200,000 Palestinians head back to shattered homes after two years of war | BBC News
The ceasefire agreement with Hamas in Gaza has come into force. The partial withdrawal of Israeli forces from the territory triggered a mass return of people back to shattered towns and villages, but the Israeli Defence Forces still remain in control of half of Gaza.
In a matter of hours as many as 200,000 Palestinians had begun making the long journey on foot, back to the places that were their homes, after being displaced by the fighting.
In Israel, the friends and families of surviving hostages have been speaking about their relief that a ceasefire deal is in place and their hopes of being reunited with their loved ones within days.
The ceasefire came into effect after being approved by the Israeli government. Under the deal, Israel pulled back its troops to agreed positions in Gaza. However, the IDF says it will “continue to remove any immediate threat”.
The withdrawal triggered a 72-hour countdown to midday on Monday, by which time Hamas must release the remaining 20 living Israeli hostages, and return the remains of 28 who are dead. For its part, Israel must release 250 Palestinians from jail, as well as 1700 people detained in Gaza during the war.
All this is just part of Phase One of the agreement. A deal on the second phase, the rebuilding and future governance of Gaza, still needs to be hammered out, with much of the detail sketchy and far from settled.

Entrepreneurs in New Jersey are making it big importing mangoes from India.
Yakin Shah and Bharat Kumar Parasana import about $20,000-worth at a time and sell them to their neighbours through WhatsApp.
Bharat said he spent more than $1 million importing the fruit last year.
This year, however, he’s spending more due to the war in the Middle East pushing up flight prices.
Mango correspondent Samira Hussain finds that in one New Jersey grocery store, a mango that typically goes for roughly 70 cents in India will sell for $5.

The Lebanese armed group Hezbollah has rejected the terms of a US-backed ceasefire between Israel and Lebanon.
In a strongly-worded statement, the Iran-backed group’s leader Naim Qassem said negotiations had been “futile” and “humiliating” for Lebanon, and rejected categorically by “broad segments of the Lebanese people”.
It comes after Israel and Lebanon announced a renewal of their fragile ceasefire with the creation of “pilot” security zones inside Lebanon in which Hezbollah operatives would be banned.
In a joint statement released on Wednesday by the US State Department, the three countries said the deal was “contingent on a complete cessation” of fire by Hezbollah.
