"I want to feel that my children are not dying in front of me"

Months after the fighting has ceased, thousands of Gazans have not been able to rebuild their homes, which were destroyed in the attacks by Israeli Defense Forces. Israel is still not allowing building materials into the country. See a video report by Guardian reporter Inigo Gilmore, who visited Gaza in June, six months after hostilities ended:

If you are longing to see some hope in the misery of the people of Gaza, see this story. On a happier note: on July 31, the children of Gaza got to participate in a kite festival. See a photo gallery of the festivities: http://www.guardian.co.uk/world/gallery/2009/jul/31/gaza-palestinian-territories?picture=351037013
