STORYLINE:
Pummelled by months of Israeli strikes and street battles, the Jabaliya Refugee Camp has become one of the most devastated areas of northern Gaza.
Nearly every building has been either completely or partially levelled during the conflict, in an area where Hamas has long had a strong presence.
Locals say all of the camp's already fragile infrastructure has been destroyed.
“We work for 25 years to build a house and we come to find the house collapsed on the ground," said local Basel Radwan.
"There is no life left, no money left, no children, nothing. We are all in the street,” he added.
In recent months, Israel has intensified operations and strikes in Jabaliya and other neighbourhoods in Gaza City.
Over the course of the war the army has said Hamas operatives have been hiding out within the camp.
Israel launched its campaign in Gaza after Hamas’ October 7 attack in which militants stormed into southern Israel, killed some 1,200 people - mostly civilians - and abducted about 250.
Since then, Israeli ground offensives and bombardments have killed more than 38,300 people in Gaza and wounded more than 88,000, according to the territory’s Health Ministry.
The ministry does not distinguish between combatants and civilians in its count.
More than 80% of Gaza’s 2.3 million people have been driven from their homes, and most are now crowded into squalid tent camps, facing widespread hunger.
