    Don’t misinterpret this as a slight to the main topic, but I am unable to imagine 110 people living together in one house.

      @Infiltrated_ad8271 Gaza has a huge housing shortage as they lose more and more of their land and houses to “settlers” each year. They also have a lot of diffuculty getting building materials because of the blockades.

      If you read this article about housing it talks about a guy building his house on the second story of a family member’s house.

      And the photos are basically showing us low rise apartment blocks. So by ‘house’ I think it means a small apartment block.

      IDF bombed 4 of them too so maybe some of the extended family were in those.

        There haven’t been any settlers in Gaza since 2005, what are you talking about? You mean the West Bank?

      The four-storey building where the family was killed sat around the corner from the Sahaba Medical Centre in Gaza City’s Zeitoun neighbourhood.

      ~25 people a floor.
