Ibrahim al-Dabba, head of the Beekeepers Co-operative, tends to beehives with his sons on the roof of a destroyed building in the Tel al-Hawa neighbourhood of Gaza City, where the displaced family has taken refuge.

His apiaries, equipment, storage facilities and four-wheel drive vehicle allowed him to manage a thriving beekeeping business
