GAZA

2,2 million people jammed together in the world´s largest prison. They are surrounded by concrete walls, mine fields, barbed wire and from above the bombs, thousands of bombs.

These are some of the people I´ve met in Gaza, a place full of women and children. More than half of the population are unemployed, and more more than half of the people living on the Gaza strip are under 18 years old.

Still the bombs keep falling - and the Western world does nothing. A shameful time for civilization and humanity.

THE LONGEST, COLDEST NIGHT

While the Northern hemisphere celebrate midsummer and the longest day of the year, the Southern hemisphere experience their longest, coldest night. Bonfires to keep warm, like here during the San Juan celebration in Tarija, Bolivia.
