In the heart of Rafah, Gaza, life continues to persist amidst the relentless conflict that has claimed over 27,000 Palestinian lives since October 7, 2023, including more than 10,000 children. The dire situation has forced many to find innovative ways to survive. Among them are two young boys who have taken to selling Middle Eastern shortbread biscuits in the streets of Rafah.
These young entrepreneurs aim to save money to purchase warm winter clothes, a necessity becoming increasingly scarce due to the ongoing war. \"Due to the conflict, we find ourselves stranded in Rafah,\" one boy explained, shedding light on the everyday struggles faced by the residents.
The Palestine-Israel conflict shows no signs of subsiding, making life exceptionally difficult for ordinary people trying to maintain a semblance of normalcy in a time of chaos and uncertainty.
