From the rhythmed flikr page:  Mohammed Al-Majdalawi, a friend and
Middle East Children's Alliance (MECA)
volunteer in Gaza, has shared some very
powerful images from Gaza. He took these
photos throughout the 22-day Israeli
attacks on Gaza as well as the days
following the "ceasefires" to
document the destruction and suffering
of regular people.

Mohammed writes, "These photos are
of children and of life in Gaza during
and after the war. I took these photos
in refugee camps, schools, hospitals,
outside bakeries while people waited to
buy bread, and in the street whenever
people left their houses between bombs.
I took photos every day. I went to
different areas with my simple camera in
hopes that these photos can tell the
world the truth and illuminate the
suffering of my people."

Mohammed lives in Jabalia Refugee Camp
in northern Gaza. He says "The
scene here reminds my family of Al Nakba
(Arabic for Catastrophe) 1948."
