The UN Office for the Coordination of Humanitarian Affairs (OCHA) reported that more than 376,000 Palestinians have returned to northern Gaza following Israeli withdrawals from key roads in the Netzarim Corridor.

The ceasefire has allowed increased humanitarian aid access, but the region faces severe infrastructure damage. OCHA warned that restoring water and sanitation systems is critical, and clearing over 50 million tons of debris could take up to 20 years.
