HomeAugust 4, 201
People walk through the rubble during a pause in the Israeli assault on Gaza (Iyad al Baba)Nearly one-quarter of Gaza's 1.8 million residents are on the move as Israel's bombing campaign continues to target whole neighborhoods, hospitals, United Nations shelters and civilian infrastructure. The number of people killed since Israel began the so-called Operation Protective Edge is nearly 2,000, with some 10,000 injured. The death toll has overtaken the more than 1,400 killed by Israel during its late 2008-early 2009 Operation Cast Lead.
