Containers as Temporary Replacements for the Houses That Were Destroyed During Israeli Offensive in Gaza

Workers place containers donated by Human Appeal for Palestinians, as temporary replacements for the houses that were destroyed during a seven-week Israeli offensive, in the east of Khan Younis in the southern Gaza Strip September 13, 2014. An open-ended ceasefire between Israel and Hamas-led Gaza fighters, mediated by Egypt, took effect on August 26 after a seven-week conflict. It called for an indefinite halt to hostilities, the immediate opening of Gaza's blockaded crossings with Israel and Egypt, and a widening of the territory's fishing zone in the Mediterranean.
