TL;DR Summary

The war between Israel and Hamas has led to widespread destruction of homes in Gaza, with over 650,000 residents left homeless and more than 70,000 housing units destroyed. This destruction has brought attention to the term "domicide," which refers to the systematic destruction of homes during conflict. The psychological impact of losing one's home is emphasized, and there are calls for domicide to be explicitly codified into international humanitarian law. The severe shortage of housing in Gaza will persist for years, and the reconstruction process is expected to be a herculean and expensive task.
