Drone footage shows devastation in Gaza’s Jabalia and Beit Hanoun

Aid agencies have described a catastrophic situation in northern Gaza, where more than 300,000 displaced Palestinians have so far returned to their neighbourhoods under the ceasefire and hostage release deal between Israel and Hamas.

The UN says almost 70% buildings across Gaza have been destroyed or badly damaged by Israeli bombardment, and that in most cases the displaced have no physical homes to return to in the north.

Drone footage shows the scale of the destruction in the towns of Jabalia and Beit Hanoun, which were besieged by Israeli ground forces for three months before the ceasefire took effect.
