Six of the seven children of Jamila Abu Jerba and her husband were killed when an airstrike destroyed their home in Gaza seven months ago. Jamila says the body of her 8-year-old son Usama was not found under the rubble. Only she and her daughter Deema, 10, survived, saved from the rubble by their neighbors. They now live in a makeshift tent in Dier el Balah, Gaza, where Jamila says she must stay strong for Deema and make sure she gives her a better future. “I keep thinking I’m going to wake up and find my children around me,” she says.
