Forty-one Palestinians returned to the Gaza Strip via the Rafah border crossing on February 11, reuniting with family after prolonged separation due to Israeli restrictions. Emotional scenes unfolded at Nasser Hospital in Khan Younis as relatives welcomed the returnees, amidst a backdrop of a devastated health sector and a dire humanitarian situation following the recent conflict. Although limited crossings were authorized, many more remain stranded, with approximately 80,000 Palestinians seeking to return to Gaza. The ceasefire, enacted on October 10, 2025, has not fully halted Israeli military actions, further complicating the situation for those affected.
