STORYLINE:
Driving footage from Rafah to Khan Younis shows the scale of destruction in the Gaza Strip as Palestinians confront an apocalyptic landscape of devastation after a ceasefire paused more than 15 months of fighting between Israel and Hamas.
Critics say Israel has waged a scorched earth campaign to destroy the fabric of life in Gaza.
Israel says its military has been fighting a complex battle in dense urban areas and that it tries to avoid causing undue harm to civilians.
From a fierce air campaign during the first weeks of the war, to a ground invasion that sent thousands of troops in on tanks, the Israeli response to a Hamas-led attack on October 7, 2023, has ground down much of the civilian infrastructure of the Gaza Strip, displacing 90% of its population.
The brilliant colour of pre-war life has faded into a monotone cement grey that dominates the territory.
It could take decades, if not more, to rebuild.
