But as this June 2007 Philip Rizk photo shows, flat roofs are by no means universal in Gaza. This photo of Palestinian President Mahmoud Abbas’s house in Gaza City, appeared in the Electronic Intifada.
Here it is, from a different angle
Rather nice, huh? Not what you'd expect from the World's largest concentration camp, is it?

I hope I did not offend the sites bloggers. I was just making an observation on the roof lines and my experience with Gaza comes from Israeli media photos and I usually only see flat top roofs.
I enjoy you blogs

Kids don't necessarily draw what they see around them. Books can override real life fairly easily. When I was in elementary school, f you asked me to draw 'a house', I drew not a flat-topped San Francisco single-family dwelling, but a gabled house with two or four windows to either side of the front door, just like the ones in picture books.
