GAZA STRIP. Khan Yunis. February 2003. Palestinian women and children lean against the wall of the Gush Katif Jewish settlement that borders the Khan Yunis refugee camp. For the fifth day in a row, these families have been denied permission to return to their home village. Palestinians who had ventured from their homes to celebrate the feast of Eid-ul Azah with families in Khan Yunis were not allowed to return through an Israeli checkpoint to their homes.
