Abu Mursa and his family have been displaced more than a dozen times since the war began, moving from place to place across the Palestinian territory in a desperate attempt to stay safe, he said.
“I just hope the ceasefire holds,“ he added.
Like the Abu Mursa family, nearly all of Gaza's 2.4 million residents have been displaced at least once during the war.
More than 16 months later, vast swathes of the territory are in ruins.
Khadija Hammou, 56, said that the 500 days since the war began have felt like “500 years”.
“Everywhere we go... there is only suffering.”
'Tired'
“Our fear is that the war will resume” and the world will fail to stop Israel’s actions, said Ayman al-Jamali, 39, a resident of the Tal al-Hawa neighbourhood in Gaza City.
Jamali accused Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu of “seeking any opportunity to destroy Gaza”, which for years has been under a crippling Israeli-led blockade and, during the current war, a siege.
The proposal, which experts say would violate international law, has triggered widespread outrage.
“I’ve never travelled in my life, and I don’t intend to leave the country unless they kill us,“ said Jamali, who now lives in a tent he set up amid the rubble of his former home.
Exhausted by the war, Mohammed Skik, 47, fears his family may have to live in a tent for years to come.
The United Nations has said more than $53 billion will be required to rebuild Gaza and end the “humanitarian catastrophe” that has gripped the territory.
