This part of central Gaza had emptied at the start of the year when Israeli troops moved through, destroying Haroun's house, but filled up again from May as over a million people fled north to escape another operation in Rafah.
"The Nuseirat market is always crowded, but now more than usual because of the many displaced people," said Haroun, 29, who is now staying with an uncle. She was looking at outfits for the girls when the first Israeli airstrikes hit, and raced out of the door to go to them.
Outside, she found a scene "like the horrors of judgment day".
"Everyone was screaming, terrified," she said. "The street I was on was only 50 metres long, but it was packed with hundreds of people, all running. A woman next to me fainted from terror, and I saw vendors abandoning their goods on the roadside to flee."
El-Nemer, 37, a software engineer, said: "I was jogging along the street with other women. We were terrified." They ran past clinics and schools where they might once have sheltered, now shunned because of Israeli attacks on both types of compound.
