Ahmed al-Wadiyeh knows how his brother died because every night this week he has sat in a hospital chair and listened while his five-year-old niece Haneen talks about it in her sleep.

About how she woke to find the school near Gaza City where her family was sheltering transformed into an inferno by an Israeli strike. How she walked through the flames and saw her mother and father and little sister Maria burning. How Maria was asking for their mother. How she watched her mother die. And then stumbled out from the ruins, her tiny body scorched by the fire.

Haneen’s family had sought shelter in the school after two months of moving between the street and borrowed tents, having been displaced from their home in Gaza City. But as he waits in the hospital where Haneen is being treated for burns, Wadiyeh has no idea where they will go next, or how he will help his niece cope with the loss of her entire close family.
