New Banksy work in Gaza

Banksy.co.uk was updated earlier today with a host of new images from Gaza along with an accompanying ‘tourist guide’ video which explains the plight of its inhabitants. Surrounded on all sides with walls and a heavily patrolled sea Gaza is continuing to suffer outside much of the worlds view. Last years  operation Protective Edge was responsible for the obliteration of over 18,000 homes – but rebuilding is hampered by restrictions which mean cement cannot be imported.  Banksy appears to access what is to all intents and purposes a prison via an underground tunnel  and paints several pieces utilising the devastation around him. See more of the images below and the video on Banksy.co.uk.
