The yellow glow of burning fires lights up on August 30, 2014 buildings that were severely damaged by fighting between Hamas Militants and Israel during a conflict that saw over 2,100 Palestinians killed and hundreds of thousands displaced by the fighting. Shejahiya was one of the most affected quarters in Gaza. The fires are lit by the residents in an effort to keep mosquitos at bay from their shattered homes. AFP PHOTO/ROBERTO SCHMIDT
