Banksy welcomes you to Gaza

Images and 2 minute film taken from banksy.co.uk/ 
Street artist Bansky goes to Gaza, entering via illegal underground tunnels, he documents the destruction wrought by Israel's 'operation protective edge'

Bomb damage, Gaza City
Gaza is often described as 'the world's largest open air prison' because no-one is allowed to enter or leave. But that seems a bit unfair to prisons - they don’t have their electricity and drinking water cut off randomly almost every day.
A local man came up and said 'Please - what does this mean?' I explained I wanted to highlight the destruction in Gaza by posting photos on my website – but on the internet people only look at pictures of kittens.
