Gaza has become a wasteland of ruins and rubble due to Israel's conflict with Hamas following the terror organization's surprise attack on Oct. 7, 2023. However, now that a ceasefire is in place, families are returning to their neighborhoods, hoping to rebuild the places they once called home.

One of the families excited to be back is the Ghaly family. After leaving the tents they had lived in for months, they are taking the few possessions they still have.

As they returned to see the rubble, evidence of the destructive force where no building was left untouched, they also saw their family home.
