Security from Egyptian-Qatari committee inspect vehicles of people returning to northern Gaza

Palestinians continued to stream on Tuesday into Gaza’s most heavily destroyed area after Israel opened the north for the first time since the early weeks of the war with Hamas, a dramatic reversal of their exodus 15 months ago. Even though many knew their homes had been destroyed in Israeli offensives, Palestinians packed their cars and trucks high with mattresses and other belongings to cross via the second route, Salah al-Din Road.
