On a narrow road in the middle of Al-Maghazi camp, the smallest and most crowded of the refugee camps, a huge bulldozer struggles to remove the rubble of four houses flattened to the ground.
More than a hundred people were here at the time of the Israeli air strike - 52 were killed, says the head of the Al-Aqsa hospital, and a number of others were injured.
Residents tried to dig with their hands through layers of cement in an attempt to extract those trapped under the rubble.
Muhammad Al-Alul, a photojournalist, lost his wife and four of his children (three daughters and a son). He has one son left.
"I wish I had been with them and been killed with them," he tells me.
"I was, as usual, reporting on the rapidly unfolding story in Al-Aqsa Hospital. Suddenly I heard that a raid had struck Al-Maghazi camp. It did not occur to me that my children might be buried under the rubble."
Al-Maghazi is a small camp inside the area of Gaza where Israel asked residents of the north to go in order to escape the fighting. But airstrikes in the south have not stopped.
"There is no safe place in Gaza," says Muhammad, a civil defence officer who rushed to the scene to help. "They ask the Palestinians to go to the south but kill them everywhere - on the roads, in schools where people are sheltering, and even in hospitals."
In the main street near the bombed site, the movement of people around the main market in the camp seems almost as normal. People try to buy what remains of some canned food and some vegetables collected by farmers from nearby farms.
You notice the misery, fear and sadness on the faces of passers-by. Many have not managed to change their clothes or shower in a long time.
"Don’t film me," an old woman shouted at me. "We are respectable people, but the conditions are very difficult.
"There is no water, no bread, and we have no money left."
Normal life has been on hold since 7 October. People here can’t see an easy or a quick way out of this.
