After Israel pulled again its forces from Khan Younis, the biggest metropolis in southern Gaza, on the weekend, civilians started to return. However following 4 months of conflict, the place they discovered was not the one they left.
“I couldn’t recognise the place,” a Palestinian humanitarian employee, who spoke on the situation of anonymity as a result of he was not authorised to talk with reporters, stated in a telephone interview. “Even the streets are not there.”
