Israel orders wider ground offensive in Gaza as aid crisis deepens

As Palestinians make their way back to their homes, many step into the unknown—walking towards ruins, uncertain of what awaits them.
Residents returning to the Tel al-Hawa neighborhood in southern Gaza City have found their homes in ruins. The area, heavily damaged by Israeli attacks, is now uninhabitable for many.
With no other options, displaced Palestinians have set up temporary tents near their destroyed homes. However, their struggles go beyond finding shelter. A severe lack of clean drinking water and electricity has worsened living conditions, while the destruction of the wastewater drainage system has created serious sanitation and hygiene concerns.
Despite these hardships, many Palestinians express deep gratitude for returning to their homeland.
However, the fate of approximately 11,000 people remains unknown. The widespread destruction and humanitarian crisis have had a particularly devastating impact on the elderly and children. The UN and international organizations have warned of the critical situation, but delivering substantial humanitarian aid to the region remains a major challenge.
As the crisis deepens, Palestinians are looking to the international community for increased humanitarian support and long-term solutions that can pave the way for sustainable peace.
