Issam and his daughter, Raaf (11), survived because they were inside the house. Issam’s son Thair (13) was seriously injured and had to have his left leg amputated. They live in the Tel al-Zatar neighbourhood in Jabaliya.

“I tell the international community, ‘you created the international law to protect civilians during ‎war, but civilians in Gaza were deliberately targeted’. The main source of our problem is ‎the Israeli occupation. If we deal with the main source, we can solve our problem,” says Issam Jouda.
