Volunteer Nisreen Shawa, 25, centre, leads a play session with displaced Palestinian children at a U.N. school where they had sought refuge along with their families during the war, in Gaza City, Gaza Strip, Thursday, Aug. 7, 2014. Taking advantage of the continuing ceasefire, volunteers from the local non-profit NGO 'Tomooh' (Ambition), arranged a special play session for children to try and lessen the stress they've been enduring after the weeks of conflict. In the playground the children got a chance to sing and play group games under the caring eye of volunteers. They hope that their efforts will lessen the damage of the traumatic recent weeks events, or at least help them forget for a short while. (AP Photo/Lefteris Pitarakis)
