    Palestinians Return to Their Homes in Gaza
    Jan 21 2025
    A fragile ceasefire has been in place in Gaza since Sunday, bringing an end to the fighting between Israel and Hamas at least temporarily. Some Palestinians are feeling safe enough to return to homes they fled during the way. Our producer in Gaza returns to the southern city of Rafah, the site of an intense bombing campaign. There, many are returning to their homes to find utter destruction.

    The Wars Trump Inherits
    Jan 20 2025
    As President Trump takes office he inherits two international conflicts in which the United States is deeply involved.

    We hear from NPR correspondents in Israel, Russia and Ukraine to hear about those countries' expectations for the Trump presidency.

We hop on a freight train with some migrants to find out why.
