Gaza Strip, Palestinian Territories: For months, Safaa Yassin has dressed her child in the same white bodysuit, an all-too-familiar tale in the Gaza Strip, which has been devastated by 10 months of war.
"When I was pregnant, I dreamed of dressing my daughter in beautiful clothes. Today, I have nothing to put on her," says Yassin, one of thousands of Palestinians displaced from Gaza City.
"I never thought that one day I wouldn't be able to dress my children," says the 38-year-old, now living in Al-Mawasi.
"But the few clothes I found before evacuating to the south were either the wrong size or not suitable for the season," she adds, as Gaza bakes in summertime temperatures of 30-plus degrees Celsius (86 Fahrenheit) every day.
Finding clothing -- any clothing -- has become increasingly difficult for the 2.4 million people living in the territory.
