“I have lived through many wars, but I have never seen one like this,” says Salah al-Tawil. “It has consumed everything. The most painful thing about this war has been losing the right to have a home.” Salah and his family spent much of the war repeatedly fleeing bombardment and attacks before returning to their destroyed home in Maghazi. Over two months, he cleared rubble and repaired what he could, making clay bricks by hand to rebuild part of the house. [Mahmoud Abu Hamda/IOM]
