However, many spent the past two nights outdoors along Al-Rashid and Salah Al-Din roads, braving freezing temperatures while awaiting permission from the occupying forces to return to their homes.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">For most of the displaced, the journey back involves walking at least 7 kilometers along Al-Rashid Road, a coastal stretch that runs from the northern to the southern Gaza Strip. This road witnessed countless massacres over the 470-day-long assault, as occupation forces targeted civilians fleeing from northern to southern Gaza.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Catastrophic Impact of the Israeli Aggression<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Between October 7, 2023, and January 19, 2025, the Israeli occupation launched a brutal military campaign against Gaza. This aggression claimed the lives of over 158,<a class=\"dzsl-auto-link dzsl-internal\" data-dzsl=\"internal\" href=\"https:\/\/dzwatch.dz\/?p=64243\">000 Palestinians<\/a>, most of whom were <a class=\"dzsl-auto-link dzsl-external\" data-dzsl=\"external\" href=\"https:\/\/www.unicef.org\/\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\" target=\"_blank\">children<\/a> and <a class=\"dzsl-auto-link dzsl-internal\" data-dzsl=\"internal\" href=\"https:\/\/dzwatch.dz\/?cat=49\">women<\/a>, and left more than 14,000 people missing.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The war displaced more than 85% of Gaza\u2019s population\u2014approximately 1.93 million out of the 2.2 million residents\u2014forcing them to abandon their destroyed homes. Additionally, around 100,000 residents fled the Strip altogether since the beginning of the assault.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Currently, an estimated 1.6 million Gazans live in overcrowded shelters and makeshift tents, enduring dire conditions without basic necessities. The devastation has left Gaza\u2019s infrastructure and properties in ruins, exacerbating the <a class=\"dzsl-auto-link dzsl-internal\" data-dzsl=\"internal\" href=\"https:\/\/dzwatch.dz\/?p=63866\">humanitarian crisis<\/a>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">For more information, visit <a href=\"https:\/\/dzwatch.dz\/\">DZWATCH.DZ<\/a>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<hr class=\"wp-block-separator has-alpha-channel-opacity\"\/>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><strong>Author<\/strong>: nor-eleslam<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Gaza \u2013 On Monday, thousands of displaced Palestinians began returning to Gaza City and the northern parts of the Gaza Strip via Al-Rashid Coastal Road.
