In this Thursday, March 17, 2016 photo, Palestinian clown doctors 24-year-old Majed Kaloub, top right, and 33-year-old Alaa Miqdad, right, perform for children during their visit at the waiting room at Al-Rantisi children’s hospital in Gaza City. Majed and Alaa were not trained in hospital clowning, but they grew up in a place that saw three large-scale military conflicts between Israel and Gaza’s Hamas rulers in the past decade, let alone dozens of smaller rounds of violence. Both visit three medical centers in the Gaza Strip a week and spend two days at Al-Rantisi, a specialized hospital for children with chronic illnesses. (AP Photo/Adel Hana)
