Gaza, Life in a Cage
Bad news rains steadily out of Gaza, but few of us actually know much about the place and the various people who call it home. In this photo essay two French journalists create an informal survey of the views on all sides, from Palestinian "tunnellers" to Israeli "settlers."
This report on the tragedy unfolding in the Gaza Strip addresses a simple question that most of us have overlooked: what on earth is it like to live day-by-day in a tiny territory, over-populated and beset by war?
Based on several extended stays among Palestinians and Israeli settlers as well, this narrative and these photographs shine a new light on this "open-air prison." Through individual portraits and testimonies, the authors reveal a lively scene where everyone is struggling tenaciously to hold onto a semblance of normal life.
