With a ceasefire declared between Israel and Hamas, journalist Bisan Owda documented the journey of Palestinians returning to Rafah, Gaza’s southernmost city, only to find it unrecognizable. Despite Israel’s claims of a “limited” operation in Rafah, aerial footage shows large areas of the city have been destroyed, with mosques, homes and entire neighborhoods reduced to rubble. Families walk through the wreckage, searching for what remains of their past while grappling with an uncertain future. Even in the face of devastation, residents are relieved to be back home and are determined to rebuild.
