On the Israeli side, at least 64 soldiers were killed and six civilians died. The ceasefire reached on August 26, 2014. However, the extremely difficult conditions continue in Gaza. Even before the last war, Gaza was one of the poorest and most densely populated regions in the world, with more than 40 % unemployment of the 1.8 million population, due to the decades of conflicts and the economic blockade established since 2007. Such devastated situations have been further intensified after the last summer war. Shelter Cluster, an international organization involved in assessing post-conflict reconstruction, says it will take 20 years for Gaza to rebuild. In such circumstances, so many people in Gaza still live in their houses or tents in the ruins and often in extremely dangerous conditions, as there is nearly no space for them to move into or it’s too expensive to rent after the war.

Despite the serious damage, she cannot leave, since there is no place else for her to move, or too expensive for the rent after the war. https://cdn.neonsky.app/4bd5ebf3e70a3/images/Sakamaki_02.jpg Foad Yousifi Al-Zaza, 70, poses at his destroyed house due to Israeli air strike during the summer's 50 day's war between Israel and Hamas, as he still lives in (with his leg paralized wife and other family members -- his wife is seen inside the house.).

SAKAMAKI PHOTOGRAPHY Latest Stories Q. SAKAMAKI PHOTOGRAPHY Latest Stories: Occupy Wall Street Movement: Occupy Wall Street Movement The Occupy Wall Street protest started on September 17th. The protesters call themselves "the 99%" and are demanding major reforms of the global financial system by curbing the power of banks and corporations. They claim they stand in opposition to the 1% of Americans who control the majority of the country's wealth and system, and they insist they will no longer tolerate the greed and corruption of the 1%. At the beginning, media, especially the main stream ones, just showed low regard for the Occupy Wall Street protesters. I also thought they were more likely to indulge in a political picnic type of activities. They had no unified concrete agenda to change the society; there were not so many people from working class; and neither many blacks, Hispanics many other minorities. And those are still in the same.  The protest, however, spreads across U. S., including Washington DC, Chicago, Los Angeles, San Francisco, Denver, Pittsburgh, Detroit, Boston, Atlanta, and Oakland, and even in the world. It becomes a real movement. It has a big rational. When I moved to the United States from Japan in the late 1980s, I thought this country contained an outstanding element of the third world counties. It is the enormous inequality, the gap between the rich and the poor. A more surprised thing was most Americans seemed to accept it or to ignore such a harsh reality.  It is much worse, now. For the last 30 years, the gap has been just rapidly growing. The richest 1% of the population in the U.S. are said they own nearly 40% of all U.S.’s assets, or even 50% of those. And, due to the Occupy Street Protest movement, for the first time, a very large number of Americans have started to seriously recognize the reality, and started to show the frustration of it. The Occupy Wall Street movement might grow further more, with a variety organizations, or groups, joining together.  Latest StoriesLiving in RuinsDisplaced Kachins in BurmaYoung Tsunami Survivors one year laterA Crossroads of Former ManchuriaHarlem;'s After School Boxing GymOccupy Wall Street MovementOccupy Wall Street MovementNovember 17 Q.

They claim they stand in opposition to the 1% of Americans who control the majority of the country's wealth and system, and they insist they will no longer tolerate the greed and corruption of the 1%. At the beginning, media, especially the main stream ones, just showed low regard for the Occupy Wall Street protesters. I also thought they were more likely to indulge in a political picnic type of activities. They had no unified concrete agenda to change the society; there were not so many people from working class; and neither many blacks, Hispanics many other minorities. And those are still in the same.  The protest, however, spreads across U. S., including Washington DC, Chicago, Los Angeles, San Francisco, Denver, Pittsburgh, Detroit, Boston, Atlanta, and Oakland, and even in the world. It becomes a real movement. It has a big rational. When I moved to the United States from Japan in the late 1980s, I thought this country contained an outstanding element of the third world counties. It is the enormous inequality, the gap between the rich and the poor. A more surprised thing was most Americans seemed to accept it or to ignore such a harsh reality.  It is much worse, now. For the last 30 years, the gap has been just rapidly growing. The richest 1% of the population in the U.S. are said they own nearly 40% of all U.S.’s assets, or even 50% of those. And, due to the Occupy Street Protest movement, for the first time, a very large number of Americans have started to seriously recognize the reality, and started to show the frustration of it. The Occupy Wall Street movement might grow further more, with a variety organizations, or groups, joining together.  Latest StoriesLiving in RuinsDisplaced Kachins in BurmaYoung Tsunami Survivors one year laterA Crossroads of Former ManchuriaHarlem;'s After School Boxing GymOccupy Wall Street MovementOccupy Wall Street MovementNovember 17 Q.

SAKAMAKI PHOTOGRAPHY Latest Stories Q. SAKAMAKI PHOTOGRAPHY Latest Stories: Occupy Wall Street Movement: Occupy Wall Street Movement The Occupy Wall Street protest started on September 17th. The protesters call themselves "the 99%" and are demanding major reforms of the global financial system by curbing the power of banks and corporations. They claim they stand in opposition to the 1% of Americans who control the majority of the country's wealth and system, and they insist they will no longer tolerate the greed and corruption of the 1%. At the beginning, media, especially the main stream ones, just showed low regard for the Occupy Wall Street protesters. I also thought they were more likely to indulge in a political picnic type of activities. They had no unified concrete agenda to change the society; there were not so many people from working class; and neither many blacks, Hispanics many other minorities. And those are still in the same.  The protest, however, spreads across U.

It has a big rational. When I moved to the United States from Japan in the late 1980s, I thought this country contained an outstanding element of the third world counties. It is the enormous inequality, the gap between the rich and the poor. A more surprised thing was most Americans seemed to accept it or to ignore such a harsh reality.  It is much worse, now. For the last 30 years, the gap has been just rapidly growing. The richest 1% of the population in the U.S. are said they own nearly 40% of all U.S.’s assets, or even 50% of those.

They claim they stand in opposition to the 1% of Americans who control the majority of the country's wealth and system, and they insist they will no longer tolerate the greed and corruption of the 1%. At the beginning, media, especially the main stream ones, just showed low regard for the Occupy Wall Street protesters. I also thought they were more likely to indulge in a political picnic type of activities. They had no unified concrete agenda to change the society; there were not so many people from working class; and neither many blacks, Hispanics many other minorities. And those are still in the same.  The protest, however, spreads across U. S., including Washington DC, Chicago, Los Angeles, San Francisco, Denver, Pittsburgh, Detroit, Boston, Atlanta, and Oakland, and even in the world. It becomes a real movement. It has a big rational. When I moved to the United States from Japan in the late 1980s, I thought this country contained an outstanding element of the third world counties. It is the enormous inequality, the gap between the rich and the poor. A more surprised thing was most Americans seemed to accept it or to ignore such a harsh reality.  It is much worse, now. For the last 30 years, the gap has been just rapidly growing. The richest 1% of the population in the U.S. are said they own nearly 40% of all U.S.’s assets, or even 50% of those. And, due to the Occupy Street Protest movement, for the first time, a very large number of Americans have started to seriously recognize the reality, and started to show the frustration of it. The Occupy Wall Street movement might grow further more, with a variety organizations, or groups, joining together.  Latest StoriesLiving in RuinsDisplaced Kachins in BurmaYoung Tsunami Survivors one year laterA Crossroads of Former ManchuriaHarlem;'s After School Boxing GymOccupy Wall Street MovementOccupy Wall Street MovementNovember 17: Two months anniversaryJapan's Monster Quake & TsunamiSouth Sudan; Cattle Herders with AK47Buffalo Nation - Native Americans in Pine RidgeHaitian Quake SurvivorsHalloween Eve of "Within the Land of Ash"Xinjiang: Shifting SandsDetroitUkraine in CrisisElection Day's portraitsFinancial CrisisGeorgians Newly DisplacedNew York Halloween NightGalleryTurkey: New CrossroadRio Favela SurvivalSri LankaAfghan Daily LifeLiberiaIraqIndia: Broken DreamSouth Thailand UnrestShip BreakingHaiti's Deja VuBanglan Sex WorkersTompkins Sq Park LegacyRio Street KidsProjectsChina's Outer LandsFukushimaNew York's Chance EncountersiPhoneSelf MetaphorsPrivateBiocontactiPhone Blog https://storage.neonsky.app/4bd5ebf3e70a3/images/j4s23p9h_pujss3cm_8qbnkp_wall_st_protest_30_thumb.jpg Q.
