Shopping Mall In Gaza Strip

In a welcome sign of normalcy, the first-of-its-kind shopping mall -- complete with an international retail chain, three-story bookstore and food court -- has opened in the Gaza Strip. The owners have overcome conflict and an Israeli-Egyptian blockade to build the gleaming 1,800 sq. meter (19,000 sq. feet) shopping center. (Footage by Mohammed Zaanoun/NurPhoto via Getty Images)
