In the midst of explosions and shortages, a small barber shop in Gaza’s Khan Yunis has become an unlikely sanctuary. ✂️ Amid Israel’s ongoing siege and warnings from the UN about collapsing civil order, locals are clinging to moments of normalcy—like a fresh haircut.
🔍 ‘We’re all homeless now, but we still need dignity,’ 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.
💬 UNRWA reports that Gaza’s markets are nearly empty, and desperation grows daily. Yet, the barber’s persistence mirrors a broader spirit: ‘If I can make someone smile today, maybe tomorrow the war ends.’
🌱 Beyond headlines of destruction, this story reminds us: Even in darkness, humanity finds light. 💇♂️✨
