The ongoing Israeli bombardment on the Gaza Strip has led to widespread displacement and a severe shortage of basic necessities like electricity, water, and food. Amid these challenging conditions, local shop owners are finding innovative ways to keep their businesses running.
In the city of Al-Zahra, the owner of a supermarket has turned to using candles for lighting due to the persistent power outages. \"We can only buy goods at high prices, and today's goods will be sold out tomorrow,\" he explained, highlighting the difficulties in sourcing and maintaining stock.
The scarcity of goods and the reliance on traditional lighting methods underscore the daily struggles faced by Palestinians in the enclave, emphasizing the urgent need for solutions to restore regular utilities and stabilize the local economy.
