Displaced Palestinian children wait for water at their tent camp in Rafah -- the UN children's agency estimates the war has displaced around 850,000 children in Gaza AFP On a cinder block work table in the war-torn Gaza Strip, puppet maker Mahdi Karira is busy turning old tin cans into figurines. He hums as he works, knowing his makeshift marionettes will put a smile on the faces of children displaced by the more than six-month war in the coastal Palestinian territory. "These puppets can make things around us beautiful," he said, surveying his handiwork.
