Palestinians sought food aid at a United Nations food distribution center in Shati refugee camp in Gaza City
Transcribed from the clipping
“Palestinians sought food aid at a United Nations food distribution center in Shati refugee camp in Gaza City yesterday. Israeli forces pounded dozens of targets and edged closer to Gaza City, while southern Israel came under renewed rocket fire.” Hatem Moussa / Associated Press.
Context added by this archive
Women and children pressed against a metal grille with their hands through it. The first sentence of the caption is what the photograph shows. The second is the war, and it is balanced: Israeli forces pounded, southern Israel came under fire. Nobody in the picture is part of either clause.
