Azhar Bin Abdul Hamid Reporting from Gaza City
On October 19, hundreds of displaced Palestinians in northern Gaza’s Hamad School in Beit Lahiya heard what everyone in the Palestinian enclave dreads.

Amal had cradled the baby while Yousef held two of their youngest children. The adults had prayed together.
