In the midst of explosions and shortages, a small barber shop in Gazaโs Khan Yunis has become an unlikely sanctuary. โ๏ธ Amid Israelโs ongoing siege and warnings from the UN about collapsing civil order, locals are clinging to moments of normalcyโlike a fresh haircut.
๐ โWeโre all homeless now, but we still need dignity,โ says one barber interviewed by CGTN. Families, including children, line up outside his shop, seeking more than a trim: a fleeting sense of routine. With supplies dwindling and humanitarian aid trucks struggling to meet demands, these small acts of resilience are lifelines.
๐ฌ UNRWA reports that Gazaโs markets are nearly empty, and desperation grows daily. Yet, the barberโs persistence mirrors a broader spirit: โIf I can make someone smile today, maybe tomorrow the war ends.โ
๐ฑ Beyond headlines of destruction, this story reminds us: Even in darkness, humanity finds light. ๐โ๏ธโจ
