Has another catastrophe been avoided? | The Israeli-Palestinian conflict

Tens of thousands of Palestinians are streaming back to their lands in northern Gaza, a right of return included in the ceasefire agreement between Hamas and Israel.

Multiple attempts to remove the population have failed.

Many Palestinians say they have avoided another experience Nakba, or catastrophe – Ethnic cleansing in Palestine in 1948 – and defeated the policy of forced displacement followed by Israel.

But the land they return to is unrecognizable.

Is Gaza uninhabitable? Or can it be rebuilt under the interim authority that will govern the sector after that?

Does the ceasefire allow for this complex and long task?
