GAZA: CRIPPLED FOR LIFE: gaza_bronstein022

GAZA CITY, GAZA STRIP- MAY 25,2018 : Dawlat Fawzi Hamadin, 33, from Beit Hanoun, gets washed by her mother on May 25, 2018 in Gaza. She was shot on May 14th, damaging the main artery of the heart with severe tissue damage. Dawlat was pronounced dead, then after an operation that lasted for seven hours she survived. She is the only breadwinner of the family and worked as a hairdresser. Everyone is well aware that Gaza's two million inhabitants are trapped in a cycle of violence and poverty, created by policies and political decisions on both sides. The problems and complications affecting Gaza today are overwhelming. The world, seemingly accustomed to the suffering of the Gazan people turns a blind eye. (Photo by Paula Bronstein )
