In Ruins

© Zoriah Miller, May 2006. Gaza City, Gaza Strip, Occupied Palestinian Territory.

 Scavengers hunt for usable items in a former Israeli settlement, just outside of Gaza City, Gaza Strip Occupied Palestinian Territory, May 12, 2006. When Israeli settlers were forced to leave the Gaza Strip in 2005, the Israeli Military was called in to completely destroy all of the settlements, their roads, infrastructure, farms etc. What is left behind is a massive expanse of broken concrete, twisted rebar and damaged roads, preventing the Palestinians from using the land for anything other than a dumpsite to scavenge in.
