"We will sleep on the rubble of our destroyed homes:" Brave Palestinians vow to rebuild Gaza

People in Gaza have returned to their homes, which were destroyed by Israeli bombings, in Dier Albalah following the withdrawal of IDF from the area. 

Amidst the devastation, residents expressed their determination to rebuild and their unwavering commitment to their country.

One boy, lying on the rubble of his home, held the Palestinian flag and said, "I will sleep on the rubble and I am happy like this. I hope all the Arab countries are happy. God is enough for me, and He will deal with them."

"My house is gone. Let the Arab countries be happy. God is sufficient for me and He is the best disposer of affairs [prayers]. It's all for the sake of our country," another man, surveying the destruction, stated.

When asked by a reporter what he was doing amidst the rubble, another young boy said he stood firm on his decision not to leave his country.

"We remain firm. My house is over there. This is my uncle's house. We remain firm. We are going to stay here. We are not leaving; we will rebuild. God willing, we stand firm."

The man recording the video responded with a blessing. "May God bless you," he said.

Despite the destruction, the people of Gaza remain resolute in their determination to rebuild and restore their homes, fueled by their unwavering hope and faith.

Israel's military offensives in Gaza has resulted in devastating losses, with over 40,000 Palestinians killed, including 16,456 children and 11,000 women.

The United Nations (UN) reported that two-thirds of buildings across the Gaza Strip have been "damaged or destroyed." Israeli attacks have also killed at least 270 aid workers.

The restrictions on food, water, medicine, and fuel supplies have exacerbated the crisis.

The International Court of Justice (ICJ) directed Israel to ensure basic services and humanitarian aid delivery in the besieged enclave.

Earlier, the Palestinian government's information office reported that almost 1.7 million Gazans has been displaced due to relentless air and artillery strikes by the Israeli military.
