Gaza destruction test - interactive

Gaza // Marked by concrete blocks and a kilometre-long tunnel, the start of Saladin Road greets you as you cross the Erez checkpoint into no man's land, where only the brave venture to graze sheep or collect rubble. Workers, farmers and militants in the area are routinely shot by Israeli forces stationed at the border.
Named after the legendary sultan who led Muslims against the Crusaders to capture the Kingdom of Jerusalem in the 12th century, the major north-south highway that once served as a vital trade route between empires continues for 45 kilometres along to the border with Egypt.
 
Last week I travelled again for The National along Saladin Road, looking for any signs of change or progress since the conflict that brought vast levels of destruction to Gaza.
Sadly, many of my images of destroyed homes look nearly identical to the ones I photographed a year ago. The changes are few and subtle.
