Today’s daily Photojournalism Links collection highlights Jošt Franko‘s work on farmers in Gaza. Franko has been photographing a group of them in the Palestinian enclave since 2013. He returned this fall to gauge the toll of this past summer’s conflict. What he found is damaged homes, bulldozed farmlands and ruined olive trees. Franko’s pictures offer a compelling look at a community desperate to rebuild its livelihood in the wake of war.
