a sweltering heat wave in gaza strip
Palestinians children cool off in a makeshift plastic pool in the yard of the ruins of their family house which was destroyed in the last summer's Israel-Hamas war, in Beit Hanoun, in the northern Gaza Strip, Thursday, Aug. 5, 2015. where the temperature reached 36 degrees Celsius (97F). Chronic electricity and water cuts in conflict-ridden countries make heat waves like the present one even more unbearable ó particularly for the more than 14 million people displaced by violence across the region.
