Hello, and welcome to NewsHour from the BBC World Service.
We're coming to you live from London.
I'm James Menendez.
And we are going to begin in Gaza,
because today hundreds of Palestinians have been streaming into the northern part of the territory to return to what,
if anything, is left of their homes.
They were able to do so after Israeli forces withdrew from the military zone known as the Netserim Corridor,
that effectively cut the Gaza Strip in two,
trapping hundreds of thousands of people who'd fled to southern Gaza to escape the fighting.
Well, now, as part of the ceasefire agreement between Israel and Hamas, they're able to go back.
They've deprived us of food and water, but they haven't deprived us of air.
