00:00Yeah, after what's been 400 days of displacement and starvation, clearly, thousands of people
00:05want to return to their homes, which is a completely normal wish after being displaced
00:11all over the territory these last 15 months. But what percentage of those people are actually
00:16going to have a home to go back to? I mean, I know you don't have an exact number, but
00:20what sorts of numbers do you think do have a home to go back to?
00:23I think that there's a lot of people who are hoping that their homes are still standing,
00:28but even more people who know that their homes are not. I've actually been talking to friends
00:33and colleagues in Gaza since the ceasefire was announced last night, and it's one of
00:38the things that continues to be repeated by people, that they're happy, they're relieved
00:44that this might occur, but they have nowhere to go. They have no home to return to. And
00:50so I think, yes, we're going to see population movement as people try and go back to their
00:55communities or try and see what still stands and remains. But for a lot of people, they
01:00are now without a home, and that's going to be a really important part of the humanitarian
01:04response. I think we're talking potentially about hundreds of thousands of people.
