One year since Gaza, a photo a day: August 2, 2014
This is part of a series of daily posts showing photos taken on the same date a year ago, during “Operation Protective Edge,” last summer’s assault on Gaza. Members of the ActiveStills collective documented what was happening at that time inside Gaza, Israel and the West Bank.
Most of the photos that we will publish here over the next month and a
half were published on +972 in real time. The average Israeli news
consumer, however, did not get the full picture of the death and
destruction that was taking place in Gaza, or the popular resistance
against the war taking place in the West Bank and Israel. For most
Israelis, the Palestinian victims had neither names nor stories.
A year later, as tens of thousands of people in Gaza remain
displaced, many without permanent shelter, and as thousands of wounded
are still waiting for rehabilitation, we hope this project can help us
all remember what happened last summer — told through the lenses of our
cameras.
