Palestinian women bake bread in front of the remains of their house in Khan Younis
Palestinian women bake bread in front of the remains of their house, which witnesses said was damaged in an Israeli offensive, during a five days truce in Khan Younis in the southern Gaza Strip August 14, 2014. A renewed truce between Israel and Hamas appeared to be holding on Thursday despite a shaky start, after both sides agreed to give Egyptian-brokered talks more time to try to end the Gaza war.
