"I haven't slept for the past three nights from joy. I long for my land, my town Jabalia, and the people of the north, to see our kin," said Ismael Mohammed, 47.

His wife Badreya, 42, their children Waseem, 25, Naseem, 22, Maysoon, 15, Yasser 10, Abdulrahman, 8, and Mohammed, 5, as well as Waseem's wife and their two toddlers, fled Jabalia early in the conflict.
