Surreal war photo taken in razed streets of Gaza shows Palestinians' praise for ... trends now
A surreal image from war-torn Gaza shows how Palestinians are showing their gratitude to student protesters at Columbia University.
Dozens of Palestinian students and children held a display of gratitude on Sunday at the Shaboura refugee camp in the southern town of Rafah, where more than a million people are sheltering.
'Thank you students in solidarity with Gaza. Your message has reached us. Thank you students of Columbia. Thank you students,' was scrawled across a tent.
Powerful images from the camp also show young children holding signs that read: 'Students of Columbia University continue to stand by us' and 'thanks for Columbia University students for their solidarity with Gaza.'
The Palestinian children gathered near a school that now serves as a shelter for Gazans displaced from the country's northern region.

Other signs read: 'Violating our right to education and life is a war crime.'
Student Takfeer Abu-Yousuf told CNN of the demonstration: 'Those are thank you messages on our tents, those tents that don’t protect us from the heat or cold. The least we can do is thank them.
'We can’t write these thank you messages on the walls of our homes because we have no homes. They have been destroyed on top of our children, elders, and women.'
Rafah is hosting more than 1.3million displaced Palestinians, but Israeli prime minister Benjamin Netanyahu has threated to unleash a ground invasion in the town -a plan that has raised global alarm because of the potential for harm to more than a million Palestinian civilians sheltering there.
As US, Egypt and Qatar pushed for a cease-fire deal they hope would avert an assault on Rafah, Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu repeated on Tuesday that the military would move on the town “with or without a deal” to achieve its goal of destroying the Hamas militant group.
