As dawn broke on Sunday, Palestinians began arriving at a war-torn refugee camp in northern Gaza, in anticipation of a pause in fighting that has leveled much of the enclave over the last 15 months.
Ahead of the expected start of the ceasefire deal between Israel and Hamas, some Palestinians had returned to the Jabalya camp, a video obtained by source showed.
The footage shows a steady stream of people walking along a street lined by the rubble of destroyed buildings, while some bike through the crowd. A white car honks and drives past the pedestrians.
Jabalya, a densely populated refugee camp, was among the first places targeted early in the Israeli military campaign in response to the October 7 attacks by Hamas and its allies in 2023.
Much of the camp had been reduced to rubble, and many residents had fled or been forced to evacuate following an Israeli ground offensive in October last year.
Some Palestinians also returned to the northern cities of Beit Lahia and Beit Hanoun, according to video shared on social media.
