A picture taken on August 12, 2015, shows the drawings of Palestinian Kholoud El-Desouki, 23-year-old, painted using cosmetics and makeup tools, at her house in Khan Younis in the southern Gaza Strip. Artists of Gaza Strip witnessed a gradual shortage of art supplies since the Israeli blockade in 2007, scarcity increased during the last months and they begun using colors that are not suited for painting or not intended for artistic purposes, beside blocking many of them from allowing international exhibitions, El-Desouki said.
