In 1988, I spent a day in Gaza with American aid workers. First photo the al-Shati refugee camp, 90,000 inhabitants, in north of Gaza near the sea. Four mosques inside the camp were struck by aerial bombardment on October 9 for strategic reasons.

After all these years I do not know the locations other than those of the Israeli settlements in the Kush Katif beach area in the south of Gaza whose photos I will post last. Kush Khatif was not far from Khan Younis.
