The title of this Guardian article is an apt descrption of what life in Gaza is like for the Palestinians living there.
“Akram Abu Elouf’s leg was blown apart by an Israeli bullet fired from a watch tower half a mile away as he led his two children upstairs to their home. Doctors patched together his thigh bone with nine metal pins but he needs further extensive surgery in Egypt if he is to walk again. But Mr Abu Elouf was told that he could not cross the checkpoint from Rafah in the the Gaza Strip to Egypt because of the metal in his body. So two weeks ago, he had the pins removed.”
