The day after Israel's military announced that it had completed its offensive in the Shujaiyeh area of Gaza City, the work of searching through the rubble left behind is underway.

According to the authorities in the Hamas-controlled strip of land, 60 bodies have so far been found in the area.

120,000 people have been left homeless, according to the authorities.

Shujaiyeh lies in ruins. We are devastated, says Sabrin Abu Asr to the AFP news agency after returning to witness the destruction.

Just like after most other buildings in the area, only the skeleton of her home remains, after two weeks of fighting between Israeli soldiers and militant Palestinians.

Israel's military announced on Wednesday that it had completed its operation in Shujaiyeh, where it claims to have destroyed eight tunnels and killed several "terrorists". The fighting is now continuing in the rest of Gaza City, where all residents have been urged to evacuate through Israeli leaflets.
