A Palestinian child eats bread while his mother bakes it on an old clay oven in her home after running out of gas and electricity in southern Gaza on November 30, 2008.

Israel said it was keeping all border crossings with the Gaza Strip sealed in response to persistent fire by militants based in the impoverished territory. (UPI Photo/Ismael Mohamad) | Slideshow
