A week after the cease fire a Gazan man named Yousef returned to the north.
He was riding a truck with other people through Salah Al Din street.
When he arrived at Tel El Hawa he walked limply seeing everything had been destroyed.
Then he arrived at his destroyed house not far from the beach.
He immediately prostrated while crying.
After that he sat in the rubble and continued to cry.
Because all his family had died when his house was bombarded a year ago.
For Yousef life has no meaning anymore after he lost everything.
Now he had nothing and doesn't have anyone.
He also doesn't know how to continue living.
But he still tries to smile to cover up his sorrow.
A fake smile that makes people think that he is fine.

A week after the cease fire.
All the Gazans who were displaced in the south.
Finally able to return to the north.
Jabalia , Beit Hanoun , Beit Lahia , Shujaiya , Tel El Hawa , Al Rimal , Al Zaytoun , Al Naser , Al Shati.
In large numbers they walked together along Al Rasheed street on the beach.
Or they rode in cars , trucks and donkey carts full of their belongings through Salah Al Din street.
It was the great return march to the northern Gaza.
They returned to their ruined cities and their destroyed homes.
They sang , cheered and rejoiced.
They were celebrating a day full of euphoria.
Their resilience and steadfastness during the long chaos.
Has paid off with their feet standing on their own land.
Whatever has been destroyed on their own land will be rebuilt.
A Beautiful life will grow and bloom again on their own land.

Too long people in Gaza often went hungry.
They were also fed up of only eating canned foods and flour mixed with maggots.
But after the cease fire they can get delicious foods and cakes every day.
Maqluba , shawarma , baklava , musakhan , qatayef and others.
The volunteer team cooks it all every day.
Then they distribute it all to people in refugee camps and people who are on their way home.
Everyone has forgotten the taste of delicious foods and cakes which for more than a year has been considered a luxury.
They immediately chew it all with big smiles and laughter.
They eat not only to fill their stomachs but also to satisfy their appetites.
Delicious foods and cakes are the smallest piece of life that they could immediately enjoy.
It's about a little celebration of the life they've got back.

After 470 days of being trapped in long chaos.
The people of Gaza can now feel relieved.
They can sleep soundly without fear of being bombarded.
They can eat well without having to go hungry again.
They can look at the clear sky without jet planes , helicopters , drones and quadcopters flying around.
They can hear the birds chirping without being disturbed by the buzzing of the zananas.
They can sing and dance until they are satisfied.
They can pray and bury the martyrs in peace.
And the morgue at the hospitals has been locked without a single corpse.
That's a good new normal for the people of Gaza.
So let the good roll on.

After more than a year of long chaos in Gaza has finally ended.
The people of Gaza cheered and sang happily on the streets.
full of enthusiasm shouted
Allahu akbar !... Allahu akbar !...
And prostrated together while sobbing.
Celebrated the ceasefire and gratitude for surviving through the endless days of hell.
Now the hell is over and they can breathe a sigh of relief.
They are preparing to return to their destroyed homes.
Riding donkey carts with their family while smiling and keep saying.
Alhamdulillah... alhamdulillah... alhamdulillah...

Konbanwa Furusawa San !
You are like a modern ronin.
Fighting alone to support Palestine.
Four seasons have passed and you are still fighting.
In the middle of the hustle and bustle of Tokyo.
Full of apathetic people.
People coming home from work.
People enjoying the nightlife.
People carrying lots of shopping.
No one cares about you.
But you still speak out loud.
Speak out tirelessly for Palestine.
Trying to make people aware that genocide is happening in Gaza.
Even though people ignore you but you still try tirelessly.

Ganbatte kudasai Furusawa San !
you are used to seeing the sunrise in Japan.
But one day you will see the sunset in Palestine.
Palestine you fought for will finally be liberated.

A young fighter from Hebron has become a martyr in the struggle.
His struggle was only because he wanted to be able to go to the beach in Gaza.
In his entire life he had never enjoyed the beauty of the beach and the freshness of the sea breeze.
That was his biggest dream and he died struggling for that.
