Rafah, 2006/09/15, Rafah Today

This morning, 84 Palestinian couples from Rafah were married in a collective wedding party.

The wedding party carried on despite of the fact that Palestinians are under international economic siege and blockade imposed by the international community, the US, the EU and other courtiers.

"We will celebrate our weddings in spite of the bad situation," said one of the grooms at the wedding.

"We want to prove to the world, that we still want to get married, love, and keep living," he added.
