RESTRICTION SUMMARY: APAwire CLIENTS ONLY SHOTLIST: APAwire - APAwire CLIENTS ONLY, Gaza - 21 July 2021. Riad Ishkontana, 42, and his daughter Suzy, 7, in the house of a family member where they is currently living after their house was destroyed in the recent conflict between Israel and Hamas on May, during the second day of Eid al-Adha in Gaza city. STORYLINE: Suzy's mother, her two brothers and two sisters -- ages 9 to 2 -- died in the May 16 Israeli attack on the densely packed al-Wahda Street in Gaza City. Israeli authorities say the bombs' target was Hamas tunnels; 42 people died, including 16 women and 10 children. “My kids who died and my wife, they are now in a safe place and there is no worry about them, but my greater fear is for Suzy,” says her father, Riad Ishkontana. After the 11-day conflict between Israel and the Palestinian militant groups in the Gaza Strip ended on May 21, hundreds of homes and shops in Gaza have been destroyed, and significant economic damage was caused to Gazans. Eid al-Adha, or the feast of sacrifice, falls at this month when Muslims will slaughter sheep, goats, camels or calves. Footage by APAwire
