Israel's relentless attacks on besieged Gaza since October 7 have taken a huge toll on the housing for poor Palestinians built by the Turkish state aid agency Turkish Cooperation and Coordination Agency [or TIKA] in southeastern Gaza.

Anadolu Agency visited a residential area built several years ago by TIKA and documented the large-scale destruction of the housing as well as in the entire residential area known as Juhor ad-Dik.

"The people here are ordinary, we got these housing units by donations from Türkiye to the most needy people," TIKA beneficiary and former housing resident Ibrahim Abu Arabia told Anadolu. "The Israeli bombing didn't stop here before the truce period, and left vast destruction in the area," he added, referring to the current humanitarian pause, which was extended last night from four days to six.

Another beneficiary who lost her house unit also spoke to Anadolu about the loss of her TIKA-built home, saying that they not only lost the house but all of their clothes, furniture, and appliances. "The residents of TIKA buildings are now homeless, and confused where to go after losing their homes," said Fatema al-Mughrabi.

More than two-thirds of Gaza's 2.3 million people have lost their homes to Israeli bombardments, with thousands of families sleeping rough in makeshift shelters with only the belongings they could carry.

Here are some heartbreaking images showing the devastating impact on the once vibrant Juhor ad-Dik neighbourhood.
