Saving what remains

, July 29, 2014

A Palestinian firefighter extinguishes a fire following what witnesses said was an Israeli air strike on a house, in Khan Younis in the southern Gaza Strip on July 29. Israel knocked out Gaza's only power plant, flattened the home of its Islamist Hamas political leader and pounded dozens of other high-profile targets in the enclave on Tuesday, with no end in sight to more than three weeks of conflict. More than 1,100 Gazans, most of them civilians, have been killed in the conflict. On the Israeli side, 53 soldiers have been killed as well as three civilians. Israel launched its offensive on July 8 with the aim of halting rocket attacks by Hamas and its allies. Reuters/Ibraheem Abu Mustafa
