At least 35,000 people have been killed by Israel in its war on Palestine’s Gaza since last October. Seventy percent of them have been babies, children and women, according to the Palestinian Ministry of Health. Many thousands of others are still missing, presumed to be dead under the rubble of Gaza. According to the United Nations, Israel’s ongoing bombardment of Gaza has internally displaced 85% of the territory’s population. The enclave is also suffering from acute shortages of food, clean water and medicine – a direct result of Israel’s crippling blockade on the besieged territory – with 60% of Gaza’s infrastructure damaged or destroyed. Israel stands accused of genocide at the International Court of Justice. An interim ruling in January ordered Tel Aviv to stop genocidal acts and take measures to guarantee that humanitarian assistance is provided to civilians in Gaza.

The Venice of the Middle East: Iraq. Floating Houses and the Story of Treasure in the Marshes Region Ahvar in southern Iraq; Ahvar is the region where communities called Ma’dan and Swamp Arabs live. This region, which is said to date back 5 thousand years, is also known as the “Garden of Paradise”. The region, which is defined as the Venice of the Middle East, is the place referred to by some as the “Garden of Eden” in the Bible. The architectural wonders of the floating houses in the region are called “Mudhif”. However, the region has come to the point of extinction due to the political conflicts. Located at the meeting point of the Tigris and Euphrates rivers, the Marshes Region is the largest in the Middle East. The floating houses, built on a platform without nails, boards and glass, are made of mud and reed. This construction technique, which has been used for thousands of years by the people living in the region, is on the verge of extinction today. The people in the region, which is in danger of extinction due to the drying policy, had to migrate.
