A young couple from southern Gaza planned to marry on Oct. 8 -- but the Israel-Hamas war changed all that.
The house they were going to live in was destroyed by Israeli bombs.
The couple -- not yet married -- spoke to ABC News as they sifted through the rubble, trying to salvage whatever they could.
"How do I feel? Sad. I wanted to be like any bride, to have a house," Heba Abu Taima told ABC News. "Everything was beautiful before the 7th of October. After the 7th of October, everything ended."
"All my dreams were shattered," she continued. "Everything in the house is gone, the house in which we planned to have a sweet and happy life is gone."
"I dreamed of beautiful things, for example, children," said her fiancé, Saif Abu Taima. "I used to say, 'Boy,' and she used to say, 'No, girl.' And we also used to go out and [I'd] tell her, 'We will live a beautiful life and achieve our beautiful dream.'"
She added, "We desperately want to live in safety like other countries. To have a good life, to live freely and in peace."
