Palestinians who returned to their homes in northern Gaza after the ceasefire began on Jan. 19 are still struggling to find shelter, food, water and other necessities.

Nearly 600,000 Palestinians flooded back into northern Gaza under the now month-old ceasefire in Gaza, according to the United Nations. After initial relief and joy at being back at their homes — even if damaged or destroyed — they now face the reality of living in the wreckage for the foreseeable future.

The opposition leader’s proposal would see Egypt take temporary control of the enclave and oversee its reconstruction.

Dan Shapiro, former ambassador to Israel who was involved in drafting the ceasefire deal, issued a damning prediction about the president's Gaza takeover plan.
