NNA - Gaza's civil defense agency said tens of thousands of displaced Palestinians were being blocked from returning to the north of the territory on Sunday at an Israeli military barrier.
"Tens of thousands of displaced people are waiting near the Netzarim Corridor to return to the northern Gaza Strip," agency spokesman Mahmud Bassal told AFP, with Israel refusing to allow them through in a dispute over a hostage release. AFP journalists in the area saw huge crowds of Gazans gathered on a coastal road near the barrier waiting to get through.
