A Palestinian artist has transformed the rubble of her home in Gaza into an unusual canvas for her paintings.

Saja Musa's building in Rafah was partially destroyed by airstrikes last month during the worst outbreak of fighting between Israel and Hamas in years.

Rather than wallow in the misery of her situation, the 26-year old began to express herself on the fallen chunks of plaster and brickwork.

She says her paintings speak of hope and resilience amid the suffering and also symbolize the history of the Palestinian people.
