Nearly 600,000 Palestinians flooded back into northern Gaza under the now month-old ceasefire in Gaza .

There is no running water, electricity, heat or services, and no tools to clear the rubble around them.

Gaza is filled with over 50 million tons of rubble that would take 100 trucks working at full capacity over 15 years to clear away.

UNICEF says families are “grieving the lives that they used to live as they begin to rebuild” Huda Skaik , a 20-year-old student, is sharing a room with her three siblings and parents at her grandparents’ house in Gaza City .

At least here they have walls and are with family, she said.
