Al-Mawasi, on the besieged Gaza Strip's Mediterranean coast, is now home to thousands of Palestinians displaced by nearly six months of war who shelter in makeshift tents.
Many of them were displaced from the area of Gaza City's Al-Shifa hospital, the territory's largest which has been targeted in an ongoing Israeli raid since 18 March.
