In this Sunday, Aug. 10, 2014 photo, Ibrahim al-Telbani, left, and Ahmad Baraka inspect the damaged and burned Al Awda snack food factory in Deir el-Balah, central Gaza Strip. Factory owner, Mohammed al-Telbani, lost his life's work during the Gaza war after Israeli shells slammed into his four-story factory, one of Gaza's largest, sparking a fire that engulfed vats of margarine and sacks of cocoa powder.
