Tens of thousands of displaced Palestinians in Gaza are crossing today the Netzarim Corridor and returning home to their loved ones in northern Gaza for the first time since Israel’s genocide on the enclave began.
Israel’s military said Palestinians will be allowed to cross al-Rashid Street by foot starting at 7am (05:00 GMT) and Salah al-Din Street by vehicle from 9am (07:00 GMT) on Monday.
Earlier on Sunday, Israel had blocked tens of thousands of Palestinians waiting to return to their homes in northern Gaza. Ismail al-Thawabta, director general of Gaza’s Government Media Office, said there were “between 615,000 and 650,000” people waiting to go past the Israeli military positions in the Netzarim Corridor, which runs through the centre of the Gaza Strip according to the Quds News Network.
