Palestinian children receive bags of horse meet in a poor neighborhood in the central Gaza Strip on 15 June 2012. The people of the poor neighborhood in the center of Gaza strip slaughter horses every twenty days, and distribute it amongst themselves as needed, they do so because they can't afford to buy lamb or veal, as the price of beef is about 40 Israeli shekel (about 8.22 euro) per kilo and to buy a horse costs them from 100 shekel to 400 shekel (20 to 82 euro). According to the butchers there is nothing wrong with eating horse meat and it causes no diseases to humans. Still, the process of slaughtering and eating horses is very rare and there is no horse meat for sale in the markets as it is legally prohibited. Photo by Ali Jadallah
