POLITICS CIVIL UNREST

Homeless Palestinian boys stand in a symbolic line organized by the United Nations Relief and Works Agency (UNRWA) during an action to bring attention to the fact that the children cannot go to school, at a UN-run school sheltering displaced Palestinians from the Israeli offensive, in Gaza City August 24, 2014. The Palestinian Ministry of Education said that while 700,000 students in the West Bank will begin the school year on time on Sunday, at least 500,000 students will remain away from classes in the Gaza Strip as the Israeli military offensive on Gaza continues. Israel launched more air strikes on Gaza on Sunday after taking its military campaign to a new level by flattening a 13-storey apartment tower following a warning to residents to evacuate. Palestinian militants kept up their cross-border rocket fire in what has become a conflict of attrition that has defied attempts by regional power Egypt to broker a durable truce in fighting now in its seventh week.
