"Returning to Ruins: Palestinians in Khan Younis Face Devastation After 6 Months of Conflict"

After Israeli forces withdrew from Khan Younis in southern Gaza, thousands of Palestinians returned to find their homes and livelihoods destroyed. The Israel Defense Forces' weeks-long battle with Hamas left houses, factories, and schools in ruins, with more than 33,000 Palestinians killed. As negotiations for a cease-fire and the release of Israeli hostages continue, Israel plans a ground offensive in Rafah, despite U.S. objections. The ongoing conflict has left families devastated and struggling to survive, with little hope for rebuilding their lives in Gaza.
