(110917) -- GAZA, Sept. 17, 2011 (Xinhua) -- Children from Abu Shawish family watch TV at their makeshift home in Gaza City, Sept. 17, 2011. The 16-member family of Abu Shawish live in a tent on the eastern outskirts of Gaza City after their house was destroyed during the two-week Israeli war on the Gaza Strip in 2008. According to international and local organizations, around 70 percent of Gaza's residents live below the poverty line due to the Israeli blockade imposed on the coastal enclave since June 2006.
