Mideast : Gaza- Refugees

Palestinians live in tents erected to house families who lost their homes during the 22-day Israeli offensive in Jabalia in the northern Gaza Strip on FEB 5, 2009. The United Nations said Palestinians in the Gaza Strip have gone from an "overwhelming grief to a pervasive sense of anger" as they continue to face the reality of the destruction of their community and shortage of daily essentials. "People here are coming to term with a new reality, with tens of thousands of them have no homes anymore and also the aid efforts are hampered by the lack of access," said John Ging, the head of the UN relief agency for Palestinians in Gaza.APOLLO IMAGES/Majdi Fathi
