“Home is the first homeland,” says Zakaria Aqel, “the place that holds all the peace in the world. A person without a home is a person without an identity.

After being displaced dozens of times, they eventually settled in Gaza City's Zeitoun neighbourhood, where they were given a shelter that finally offered some stability after months of moving from place to place.
