Amidst the devastation of conflict in Gaza, displaced Palestinians share heartbreaking stories of losing everything, including basic necessities like shoes.

Many people in the Gaza Strip are forced to walk barefoot or in worn-out shoes as a result of the devastation and poverty exacerbated by the war. Some were forced to flee in a hurry, leaving their home with just the clothes they were wearing. One husband and wife take turns wearing the same worn-out shoes. “This is my husband’s sandals. We alternate. Whoever is out puts them on,” the woman said. “I cannot even find […]

Gaza’s high costs and low income make diapers a luxury. 1.7 million displaced Palestinians face dire sanitation issues and Hepatitis A. With prices around $1 per diaper change, many parents are forced to find alternatives, such as pieces of cloth, due to unemployment and the high cost of living. The situation is worsened by the lack of aid and basic hygiene products, making survival the main priority for the people of Gaza. The United Nations estimates that displaced Palestinians face a ticking health time bomb, with one shower for 2,000 people and around 500 people sharing a single toilet. With Israeli attacks intensifying and more people forced to move, the […]
