Images of Gaza

While getting regular updates on the increasing international protests and condemnation of the Israeli raid on the Gaza aid flotilla, I tried to look for images of the Gaza strip other than those that regularly accompany reports on the area. Here are a few that caught my eye:

The last photo of this set shows the cabinet of medical supplies in the intensive care unit of the El Shafa hospital - practically empty after the imposition of the Israeli blockade that cut off the Gaza Strip from the rest of the world.

 An impressive portrait of an Islamist Jihadist in Gaza.

All photos above come from the site of Zoriah - Photojournalist, where you can see a whole gallery of Gaza pictures. Some are very disturbing - unsurprisingly.

Here's another poignant photo, of children's shadows against a bullet-ridden wall in the Jabalia refugee camp, in Gaza (photo by Odd Andersen, published in the Guardian).
