Ancient Wounds in Gaza
The Gaza Strip is only 25 miles long and seven miles wide, but its size belies its capacity to stir the fiercest emotions of billions of people around the world. Once again, the perennial question returns: why has so much blood been shed over such a small stretch of land? In a new photo gallery focusing specifically on Gaza, we construct a chronology of the land's conversion from ancient city-state to present-day battle zone, and try to make some sense of its recent descent into war and anger.
