Jerusalem:
The masses of Palestinians, who were displaced by months of war, began to move north of the Gaza Strip on Monday after Israel and Hamas said they had reached an agreement for the launch of six other hostages. The progress retains a fragile truce agreement aimed at finishing the conflict of more than 15 months, which has devastated Gaza’s strip and displaced almost all its residents.

According to the reports, the first residents arrived in the city of Gaza early in the morning after the passage in Center of Gaza opened at 7.00 am (0500 GMT). Another cross opened at 9.00 am

Tens of thousands of Palestinians had waited two days in the obstacles to return to their homes in northern Gaza, expressing frustration after Israel accused Hamas of violating a high fire agreement and refused to open crossing points.
