"People are scared to live in al-Shujaiya, and we're scared, but we have no choice but to live here," al-Hattab said.

He and his wife, Niveen al-Hattab, live with their younger son in a ground-floor shop, under their destroyed apartment building.

The couple's 27-year-old daughter was killed when the family fled al-Shujaiya to another part of Gaza City during the war. She's among more than 73,000 people Gaza's health ministry says were killed in Israeli attacks.

"Where are we supposed to go? I've been displaced a lot already," the mother said, adding their one tent was destroyed in an Israeli airstrike during the war and they cannot find another.

"We don't know how to live, and we're sitting in danger because there's nowhere to go," she said.
