Mixed emotions in southern Gaza

#Gaza Truce

Palestinians in the southern part of Gaza are a bit optimistic now, given the truce. They are trying to go back to their daily lives as much as possible. Some are queueing outside the banks to withdraw money, others are lining up to fill their gas cylinders. We have also seen bakeries open up for the first time in two weeks.

People here are relieved they don't hear jets and drones, and children are happy there are no air strikes taking place.

At the same time, people who fled the northern parts are disappointed they can't go back. They still don't know what happened to their houses or loved ones.
