Empty containers of traditional gas lay piled in a warehouse.
Gazans live on scratch literally. They use wood and flammable materials to make fire, tents to live in, anything edible for food. They sleep on the floor and use any kind of cloth to sew and stitch for their children to wear.
For water, bathing and dish washing, they use nearby public faucets. To bathe their children and wash their clothes and dishes, they go to the beach.
"Living on a dime" has a whole new sensation here in the Gaza strip. I invite you to come, see, feel, and experience yourself the deprivation that is my Palestine.

Palestine is not much different from any other Third World country. It too suffers from poverty, and has witnessed a huge increase in poverty rates over the last eight years. The Gaza Strip is a small part of Palestine that extends along the coast of the Mediterranean Sea. It is densely populated and suffers from very high rates of poverty and unemployment.
The Gaza Strip has three main commercial ports that allow goods, materials, medical aid, building tools, food to enter. Unfortunately, they stay closed most of the time because of the political situation that we suffer from which leaves all Gazans living on a dime whether we chose it or not.
No electricity, no fuel, no food, no water, no medicine β and no life β is our daily life here in Gaza. Life cannot stop, it just has to go on. Gazans make sure that happens, somehow. Of course, these band-aids have their advantages and disadvantages.

Living tents: it's not an invention but they coped with living in tents like living in houses due to the demolition of their own homes.
Advantages: better than living in the street, a place to live and sleep in, and without monthly rent payments.
Disadvantages: It doesn't protect from the rain, can burn while cooking, very hot in the morning and cold in the night, wild dogs can bite through it and hurt the whole family, and doesnβt apply as a healthy living place.
