// Entry #17
Are they not as beautiful, not as adorable as your children? Are they any different from the children you see in your streets? Sure, they speak a different language, live in overpopulated city-slums, and can most likely name at least one nuclear family member injured or killed during Operation Cast Lead but they’re really not much different from you when you were a child.
These are the beautiful children of a refugee camp in Khan Younis, just southwest of Gaza City in the Gaza Strip.
Note: Very few girls were outside when I was in the area. Those that were shied away from the camera.

These pictures are fantastic, as are all the other one’s you’ve been posting from Gaza. The children of Gaza really are very beuatiful mash’Allah.
Keep going, Sami. You are doing a great job of showing Gaza as a place where people live.
So beautiful, mashAllah, mashAllah, mashAllah!
these faces melted my heart..each smile, or pose is different, but their is similarity in their eyes…eyes that I’m certain have seen many difficult times. great pictures!
beautiful. hopefully we can offer them a future brighter than the one of the generation before them
Thank you for these beautiful photos. There is a little boy named Ahmed who lives in Khan Younis. During one of those hot summer nights last year, he slept on the rooftop of his home and looked at the moon for a long time. Ever since, he has been asking his father to give him the beautiful moon. Ahmed wants the moon. Why not ?!
