I don’t think the war is over.

Reem: "People are in the streets as if there's a feast. Tal El Hawa is attracting people from all over Gaza Strip to come and see the damage. People are repairing the damage and trying to find a shelter.

"The first thing was to go back home. Our building was not damaged but other towers close to ours were damaged and a few people from our area died. I also went to Mercy Corps' office.

"I don’t think the war is over. I miss everything even things that I thought I will never think of. People are trying to find a way to leave Gaza.

"I am getting sick; both psychologically and physically. We've lost a lot of people and we've lost many things at once."
