Seriously.  There are 37 photos in total -- last frame identifies ALL taken in GAZA.

I know, all the images we see are carefully edited to show only poor and oppressed people living in ruins and bombed out buildings.

They are all carefully cropped - and sometimes, I am sure, even photoshopped - to craft a view of what's going on that does not match reality; however, it is breath-taking to see the reality compared to the media-crafted illusion.

My first guess was Beirut until I got to the last slide. Amazing!
