EDITORS COMMENTS
In this powerful image captured by Amir Cohen, smoke trails fill the sky as rockets are launched from the Gaza Strip towards Israel. The photograph, taken from the Israeli border on August 23,2014, serves as a haunting reminder of the ongoing conflict between Israel and Palestine. Amidst calls for peace talks and ceasefires from Egypt, violence continues to ravage both sides. Israeli air strikes in Gaza and retaliatory rocket attacks by Hamas militants persist unabated. The aftermath is evident in the damaged buildings and shell-shocked landscape visible in this photo. The elevated view allows us to witness the destructive impact of armed conflict on an urban cityscape. Dark clouds loom overhead, mirroring the somber atmosphere that hangs over these war-torn regions. The creative use of space highlights the absence of people - a stark reminder of lives lost or displaced due to this relentless cycle of violence. As we gaze at this image, it becomes apparent that no corner is left untouched by destruction when conflicts escalate. It serves as a visual testament to how wars not only destroy physical structures but also shatter hopes for peace and stability. This photograph encapsulates one moment amidst years of turmoil; it captures both despair and resilience within its frame. It urges us all to reflect upon our shared responsibility in seeking lasting solutions for those affected by such devastating conflicts around the world.
