Gaza A Year Later
This Dec. 13, 2009 photo shows a man walking in front of the Athamneh family house in Jebaliya, northern Gaza strip. The house, made of local materials in an ancient technique, compressed mud bricks, wooden window frames and a domed roof that does not require steel, is shown next to a destroyed house. Gaza has been frozen in place since Israel waged war on the territory a year ago to subdue Hamas. Entire neighborhoods still lie in rubble, and traumatized residents can't rebuild their lives. The main U.N. aid agency has ordered 120 such Arabesque-style homes with graceful arches as shelters for the displaced. (AP Photo/Hatem Moussa)
