Palestinian artist Dima Sha'sha'a works at her atelier in Beit Lahia in the northern Gaza Strip on March 29, 2015. Dima and her brother Hamdi take the drawing on dishes, cardboard and glass as a job for nearly four years. According to human rights reports, the ongoing Israeli blockade undermines development in all aspects of Palestinians' lives, economic activity is stifled, leaving Palestinian people in the Gaza Strip heavily dependent on international aid, as rate of unemployment exceeds 40 percent, and 70 percent of the Palestinian community lives below the poverty line.
