The United Nations Office for the Coordination of Humanitarian Affairs (OCHA) said that more than 376,000 Palestinians returned to the northern Gaza Strip between Monday morning and Tuesday afternoon.

The office explained that half of these displaced persons are men, a quarter are women, and the other quarter are children.

OCHA said that women, elders, people with disabilities, diseases, or in need of urgent medical care, or unaccompanied minors are among the main vulnerable groups of displaced people who have made this difficult journey on foot.

The displaced people from the northern Gaza Strip began returning to their homes last Monday, in accordance with the ceasefire agreement signed between Hamas and the Israeli occupation on Jan. 19, which halts the bloody war waged by the Israeli occupation army on the Gaza Strip since Oct. 7, 2023.
