WATCH: Palestinian girl embraces her father after returning to northern Gaza

A young girl clung to her father as he returned home to northern Gaza after a long and uncertain separation.

The emotional reunion captures the relief and love of a family reunited, bringing hope and warmth to a region often marked by conflict and hardship.

The tender embrace speaks volumes about the unbreakable bonds of family and the resilience of the human spirit.

Tens of thousands of displaced Palestinians began returning home to northern Gaza on Monday, after 15-month-long Israeli aggression in the area.

Israel opened a corridor into the north of the Gaza Strip on Monday, 48 hours later than initially planned. It blamed the delay on Hamas, saying the militant group breached the terms of the ceasefire agreement that guaranteed people would be able to return to the north.

People were overjoyed as they started returning to their land after a long time.
