Today, President Trump's Middle East envoy said he would soon travel to the Middle East

and be part of a team of, quote, outside observers, situated both inside and along the Gaza

Nick Schifrin takes a look now at the relative quiet in Gaza and what Palestinians are

structures flattened into pancakes, buildings obliterated or blown into carcasses.

Gaza City used to be one of the most densely populated spots on the planet, population more than half a million.

Today, stripped of green, a shell of what it used to be.

In South Gaza, amidst the displaced, diggers, the first step to clearing the rubble, so

families can return home.

Like the Siam family, who we filmed today arriving for the first time, to their home in Rafa,

turned into a mountain of ruins.

They left this home intact eight months ago.

Today, 50-year-old Lutfi Siam called the destruction worse than a nightmare.

When we came here today, we were expecting to find something from our homes, but we were

honestly surprised.

It's an area that's been completely destroyed.

And yet they smile and embrace, even if their future is uncertain.
