Pity Reuters. They want so much to find pictures that illustrate that “humanitarian crisis” in Gaza that they will grasp at any straw they can find, even a child who apparently skins his knee:
A Palestinian boy cries outside his house in the Gaza Strip January 20, 2008. Gaza’s main power plant began shutting down on Sunday due to a fuel shortage caused by Israel’s closure of the Hamas-controlled territory’s borders in response to Palestinian rocket attacks.

I’m surprised that they didn’t caption this photo “Palestinian children forced to draw their own crude Israeli and American flags for burning because of a severe flag shortage due to Israel’s total, uncompromising blockade of Gaza’s innocent citizens.”
