The Tent Cities are growing

I wrote a blog post last week about the "Tent Cities" in Tel Aviv.  Over the past two weeks, hundreds of Israelis, from all walks of life, set up tents on a heavily populated bike path to protest against the rise in housing prices.

Although, since my last post, it has grown into something bigger: a protest against the whole system.  Last week there were probably around 60-70 tents.  One week later, I counted ~500 covering a stretch of three streets.  They are packed together now.  

The rallies and protests have grown too.  Last week I photographed a protest on a Tuesday and there were probably one hundred people in it.  A week later, at least 2,000 easily.  It was insane and such an exceptional experience to document and be apart of.  

Until next time,

Yallah Bye!
