Since Israel’s assault on the Gaza Strip started on July 8, 625 Palestinians have been martyred, 80 percent of whom are civilians. After the horrific al-Shujayeh massacre, people around the world marched and protested in solidarity with the besieged people of Gaza. Some rallies led to clashes with extremist Zionist groups, like in France, while others were prevented by police from reaching Israeli embassies and consulates.

A toned down Ramadan
►http://english.al-akhbar.com/photoblogs/toned-down-ramadan
Ramadan does not feel as festive this year compared to years past. People have not prepared for the holy month like they usually do. The atmosphere of Ramadan is being drowned out by the tense security situation in Lebanon and the current regional events. There are even people who do not have the means to put food on the table after 16 hours of fasting.

On June 12 three Israeli settlers near the illegal settlement of Gush Etzion in the West Bank went missing. Since then, Israeli occupation forces have held the entire Palestinian population responsible for their disappearance, inflicting a series of brutal measures on Palestinians of all ages. Over 471 have been arrested and least five have been killed since Israel’s “Brother’s Keeper” operation began.

Here is Sabra, where both Lebanese and Palestinians live. Here is where the brutal massacre of Palestinians by Lebanese militias took place in 1982, a stain on Lebanese history. But life here continues and the days go by slowly. Through his photos, Marwan Bou Haidar captures daily life here. In Sabra’s markets you can find find anything, from perfume to clothes to watches. In this area where the state is absent, God alone takes care of the inhabitants.
