Palestinians shop in front of the heavily damaged commercial center which was destroyed by Israeli strikes during the summer's fierce offensive, in Rafah in the southern Gaza Strip September 23, 2014. Gazans who endured more than 50 days of devastating Israeli bombardment are now eager to enjoy some life and many are rushing back to a veneer of normalcy. Street cafes and beaches are packed with people until late at night. Families crowd the few public parks. Far from a celebration, however, Gazans themselves acknowledge the revelry is only to thinly mask trauma and widespread despair. Photo by Abed Rahim Khatib
