After Israeli troops pulled out from Gaza’s Khan Younis, Palestinians carried a mattress on their heads in the hope they would still have four walls to put it in, AFP reports.
One of those who left Rafah on Sunday climbed on the top of a heap of rubble in Khan Younis which once had been a home.
With everything around him in ruins, AFP photographs showed the man standing among smashed concrete and corrugated iron roofing.
Not a single structure within sight appeared untouched by the Israeli offensive.
Other images showed large swathes of the city flattened.
