Approximately half of the buildings in northern Gaza were damaged or destroyed during Israel's offensive in response to the October 7 Hamas attack. Yasmine Abu Rujileh, 23, and Khalil Al Najjar, 26, who got married just a month before the conflict began, found their home in ruins, symbolizing the impact on many families.
