      <image:title>Gaza: Living in Ruins</image:title>
      <image:caption>General Information: This past summer’s conflict in Gaza between Israel and Hamas, which was sparked by the June deaths of three Israeli teens in the West Bank, claimed the lives of more than 2,115 Palestinians, wounded more than 100,000 and displaced an estimated 300,000 people in Gaza. 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.

In this image, Sobheya Hamid Abu Mutlag, 59, poses at her home in Khan Yunis destroyed by Israeli artillery during the summer's 50-day war between Israel and Hamas. 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.</image:caption>

The Occupy Wall Street protest started on September 17th. The protesters call themselves &quot;the 99%&quot; 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.

The Occupy Wall Street protest started on September 17th. The protesters call themselves &quot;the 99%&quot; 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.

The Occupy Wall Street protest started on September 17th. The protesters call themselves &quot;the 99%&quot; and are demanding major reforms of the global financial system by curbing the power of banks and corporations.

The Occupy Wall Street protest started on September 17th. The protesters call themselves &quot;the 99%&quot; 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.

The Occupy Wall Street protest started on September 17th. The protesters call themselves &quot;the 99%&quot; 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.

The protesters call themselves &quot;the 99%&quot; 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.

Although middle class starts to emerge in Crimea and other parts of Ukraine, still many are struggling for their life, and such reality often becomes one of strong reasons to create pro-Russian tendency.

In Brazil, prison inmates often stay in inhuman conditions, but at the same time the punishment to minors is also often criticized, since the maximum sentences is just three years, even if they commit murder. And after the release, many of them are likely to return to the gang activities. May 2007.</image:title>

      <image:title>At a funeral home in Anuradhpuraq, North Sri Lanka, funeral workers care a child victim of the June 15 bus attack to prepare for mass burial. The attack was the biggest tragedy since the 2002 ceasefire agreement, although it has nearly been breached for the last six months. The Sri Lankan government accuses LTTE of the terror, but the Tamil political organization denies the claim. And the situation just seems to be at the brink of the restart of war.

      <image:title>At the pier in Bani Shanta , sex-workers are waiting for customers coming by boat. Bani Shanta is a 600 or 700 hundred populated port village in Pashur river and more than half of the residents are sex-workers, making the life of the village dependant on prostitution job. Although in Bangladesh prostitution is practically legal -- anyone can become sex-worker if over 18 --, some of Bani Shanta’s workers are children and victims of human trafficking. In addition, manyof such sex-workers have children as single mother, and those kids have nearly no future except becoming prostitutes, pimps or drug dealers, since they are likely to grow in the same circumstances without going to school.
