Jawdat al-Khoudary's home was known as the most beautiful place in the Gaza Strip. Now, nothing remains of the house or garden.

Khoudary, one of Gaza' most successful business men, whose family dates back nine generations in Gaza, had created a 100,000-square-foot oasis amid the besieged coastal enclave.

Ahmed Alnaouq is a Palestinian journalist from Gaza and co-founder of We Are Not Numbers.

Yasmeen El Khoudary is an independent London-based researcher and writer specialised in Palestinian archaeology and cultural heritage.

Chris Rose is the director of Amos Trust. But now, the mosaic paths which weaved between verdant groves of exotic plants and greenhouses filled tens of thousands of tiny cactuses from around the world have been turned to desert by Israeli bulldozers. And the ornate columns and chandeliers which filled his adjacent home have been torn down.
