STORYLINE:

Hundreds of Palestinian families have gathered along the coast of central Gaza in the hope of returning to Gaza City, from which they were displaced 15 months ago.

The refugees congregated near the Israeli Netzarim military checkpoint, which separates the southern and northern Gaza Strip.

SOUNDBITE 1 (Arabic): MOHAMMED ASEM, Palestinian
"I am here to return to my home in Gaza by sea. I hope things will be easy and we can return to what is left of our homes."

SOUNDBITE 2 (Arabic): SABRIN AHMED, Palestinian
"I want to return to Gaza and I will stay here until I return to Gaza and live my life and go back to school."

This return is tied to the ongoing implementation of a prisoner exchange deal and a ceasefire agreement brokered by Egypt, Qatar, and the United States.

However, Hamas on Sunday accused Israel of violating the ceasefire deal by banning Palestinian residents from returning to their homes in the northern Gaza Strip.

On Saturday, the Israeli prime minister's office said in a statement that Israel will not allow Palestinian residents to return to their homes in the northern Gaza Strip until the release of Israeli civilian Arbel Yehud, who was scheduled to be freed on Saturday but was replaced by an Israeli female soldier by Hamas.

SOUNDBITE 3 (Arabic): SAID AL-HADAD, Palestinian
"We came here to return to Gaza. We are very tired in the south. I want to return to Gaza and to our memories."

SOUNDBITE 4 (Arabic): HAKAM ABU RAMADAN, Palestinian
"I want to return to Gaza so we can live our lives again. I miss schools and homes and we miss security instead of having planes over our heads. We want to live in security."
