    This is Marwan Abu Mayaleh. The door to his family home in Hebron’s H2 district is welded shut “for security reasons”. We supported his business sewing tents more than 10 years ago, and while business is not great, he is surviving - but hoping for better times.

    Mazyuna’s son is imprisoned for life. Several years ago she had a stroke that made her loose her eye sight. For four years now, she has lied to her son, pretending she can see him every time she visits.

    People used to flock to this Turkish bath in Gaza’s old city which dates back hundreds of years. With the dire humanitarian situation in the Strip, the number of visitors to this historical site is regrettably on a sharp decline.

    Sameh lost both legs during the 2009 Gaza war. Despite his background in business administration, he could not find work after his legs were amputated. His skills became useful again when he applied for an ICRC microeconomic initiative grant and opened his own stationary shop.
