Photojournalism Daily is a compilation of the most interesting photojournalism found on the web, curated by Mikko Takkunen

Today’s daily Photojournalism Links collection highlights Q. Sakamaki‘s portraits from the Gaza Strip. This past summer’s conflict between Israel and Palestinian militant groups took a heavy toll on the coastal enclave’s 1.8 million people — more than 2,000 people were killed in Gaza (and 70 in Israel) — and shredded much of its infrastructure. Sakamaki traveled south to Khan Yunis in October to document the aftermath of the war and found many Gazans living in the rubble of their own homes, waiting for relief.
