Jan 28 - Surviving members of a Gazan family devastated by Israeli shelling three years ago are homeless again after their new homes were destroyed in the recent offensive.

18 members of the al-Athamna family were killed in an Israeli shelling on the town of Beit Hanoun in 2006.

Now their new homes have been completely destroyed by the recent Israeli offensive.

Sonia Legg reports.
