Al-Rantisi Children's and Oncology Hospital in Gaza City appears like a field of ruins: overturned beds, scattered medical equipment, and devastated wards bear witness to the violence of recent weeks of Israeli bombardment. The facility, once a hub for sick children, is now a symbol of the destruction that has befallen the city. On Friday, Israel announced a ceasefire in the Gaza Strip and the start of a partial withdrawal of troops. Meanwhile, tens of thousands of exhausted Palestinians are trying to return to their homes, many of which are now destroyed. While hopes for a lasting truce are growing, the population faces the enormous challenge of rebuilding and caring for the wounded.
