For a second day, thousands of Palestinians are continuing to return to northern Gaza to try to rebuild their lives.
They are heading back on foot along al-Rashid Road after being forcibly displaced by 15 months of Israel's war. Some are driving through the Salah al-Din Road.
300,000 of them have already returned to find their neighbourhoods in ruins.
They are reuniting with their loved ones after being separated for more than a year.

The Israeli military is blocking thousands of Palestinians in central Gaza from returning to their homes in the north.
People seeking to return to their neighbourhoods spent Saturday night on al-Rasheed Street, hoping Israeli forces would allow them to cross the Netzarim Corridor that divides north and south Gaza.
But Israeli forces shot at Palestinians trying to reach their homes.
Hamas says the Israeli army is delaying the implementation of the terms of their ceasefire.
While Israel says Hamas had failed to meet its obligations, by not releasing a female civilian captive on Saturday.
Al Jazeera’s Hani Mahmoud reports from al-Rashid Street in central Gaza, just south of the Netzarim Corridor.

Congolese army vehicles head to the front lines on Goma's outskirts. Fighting against the M23 armed group intensifies. Congolese officials accuse Rwanda of backing M23, but Kigali denies involvement. The army vows to defend Goma with support from regional and UN peacekeepers. The UN relocates non-essential staff from Goma as 400,000 people have been displaced since the year's start. Bombings cause fear among residents. The decades-long conflict persists with failed ceasefires, making peace appear distant.

Abdullah Al-Arian, a Middle East specialist at Georgetown University in Qatar, says President Trump’s comments asking Egypt and Jordan to accept 1.5 million war-displaced Palestinians from Gaza is a credible threat and not just an off-the-cuff remark.
“There’s reason to take it seriously in part because we’ve seen this specific demand being made over the last year. This is something many Israeli officials indicated very early on in the course of Israel’s onslaught on Gaza is that they sought to ethnically cleanse as much of that territory as possible,” al-Arian told Al Jazeera.
“That plan has failed for multiple reasons with Arab leaders who were approached at that time simply declining to take on additional Palestinian refugee populations.”
The Palestinians themselves were also not interested in another “mass ethnic cleansing”, he added.
“They know all too well what it means to leave their home and what the status of Palestinian refugees has looked like for the past 70 years.”

Israeli fire injures at least six people in southern Lebanon as residents try to return - on the day its forces were due to withdraw under a ceasefire deal.
Israeli soldiers are in breach of a ceasefire agreement reached in November. They were supposed to withdraw by a deadline which ended three hours ago - but Netanyahu says there aren't enough Lebanese soldiers in border villages for them to do so.

Hamas has accused Israel of delaying the implementation of the Gaza ceasefire terms - by stopping Palestinians from returning to the north.
Israeli forces shot at Palestinians trying to return home - saying Hamas had failed to meet its obligations.
It happened after 200 Palestinian prisoners were released, in exchange for four Israeli captives being freed.

United Nations chief Antonio Guterres has called on Rwandan forces to withdraw from the Democratic Republic of the Congo (DRC) and halt support for M23 fighters advancing on the key city of Goma in the country’s east.
Guterres “reiterates his strongest condemnation of the M23 armed group’s ongoing offensive and advances towards Goma in North Kivu with the support of the Rwanda Defence Forces,” his spokesman Stephane Dujarric said in a statement on Sunday.
The DRC and the UN accuse Rwanda of backing the M23 (March 23 Movement) rebels, an accusation that Kigali denies.
At an emergency UN Security Council meeting later on Sunday, the DRC demanded sanctions against Rwanda, saying its forces had crossed into its territory in what amounted to a “declaration of war.”

Hamas is expected to release four Israeli captives today. We do not know where the release is going to happen. However, we have spotted an ICRC convoy in southern Gaza.
After the captives are released, Israeli forces are going to withdraw and Palestinians are going to be able to return to Gaza City and northern Gaza.

Many people left northern Gaza during 15 months of warfare, while others stayed behind. Now those returning north are reuniting with their families. They've walked day and night across rubble, craters and sandbanks to reach their loved ones.
In the words of one mother in Gaza City, separation is hard, but waiting is even harder.

US President Trump’s idea of the mass expulsion of Palestinians in Gaza to Jordan and Egypt is unlikely to ever happen, says Middle East analyst Mouin Rabbani.
“Even if he applies pressure on Jordan and Egypt, I think their leaderships will recognise the price of going along with Trump is going to be much greater than the price of resisting him – in terms of the survival of their leaderships for participating in something like this,” Rabbani told Al Jazeera, referring to Trump’s plan as “ethnic cleansing”.
“This isn’t going to happen because Israel is not going to succeed in ethnically cleansing the Gaza Strip after a war, after having failed to do so during a war.”
When former US Secretary of State Antony Blinken went on a tour of Arab states to promote this idea late last year, he was met with a “blanket refusal”, Rabbani added.
Meanwhile, Netanyahu is feeling the heat from his coalition partners over the ceasefire deal who view the Israeli leader as succumbing to US demands, the analyst said.
“I think there’s a kind of a mix of personal, political and ideological factors at play. But ultimately, I think the key relationship to look at here is not that between Netanyahu and his coalition partners, or between Israelis and Palestinians, but between Washington and Israel – because Washington is the one calling the shots, and Israel has no choice but to comply.”

Palestinian Islamic Jihad has said that Israeli captive Arbel Yehud could be released ahead of Saturday's planned batch of releases.
That's because Israel says it won't allow Palestinians to return to northern Gaza until the issue of Arbel Yehud is resolved.
Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu's office says she was supposed to have been released on Saturday.
Israeli forces have opened fire on Palestinians waiting to cross from south of the Netzarim Corridor, into northern Gaza.
Several Palestinians have been shot and injured on al-Rashid Street, close to the buffer zone occupied by Israel.
They were carried to nearby ambulances by crowds despite the risk of being targeted too.
Al Jazeera’s Hani Mahmoud is in Deir el-Balah in central Gaza, Palestine and Laura Khan is in Amman Jordan, because Israel has banned us from reporting in Israel and the occupied West Bank.
