The 'prison camp' that is Gaza


That's the new Crazy Water Water Park in Gaza, note the extensive use of concrete (just like in the new shopping mall) and the happy smiling families. Will nobody stop the pain?

'According to Egyptian journalist Ashraf Abu Al-Houl writing in Al-Ahram, "A sense of absolute prosperity prevails, as manifested by the grand resorts along and near Gaza's coast. Further, the sight of the merchandise and luxuries filling the Gaza shops amazed me. Merchandise is sold more cheaply than in Egypt, although most of it is from the Egyptian market.'


Can we expect a BBC feature on the new prosperity in Gaza? Somehow I doubt it.



Thanks to Theo Spark for the spot.
