"Aren’t we human and worth life?" I spoke with Ismail Matar, a 23-year-old Palestinian artist in Gaza known as the 'Painter of the Refugee Camp.' His murals depicting the "patience" and "hope" of the Palestinian people were destroyed in the air strikes.

Thanks @TorontoStar & @EVYSTADIUM for sharing this story!
