In Gaza, the hum of car engines has been replaced by the clip-clop of hooves as donkey-drawn carts become the go-to transportation amid a crippling fuel shortage. With the latest escalation in conflict cutting off access to gas, locals in Khan Yunis and beyond are navigating streets turned into parking lots for abandoned vehicles. 🛠️
🚜 'Life is over for us here,' says Maher Shaheen, a displaced resident from Al-Zana. 'We spend entire days driving donkey carts just to earn 30 shekels. It’s like we’ve gone back centuries.' But even this makeshift solution faces hurdles: scarce livestock feed threatens to halt the carts’ wheels completely.
As families struggle to feed their children, the crisis highlights a grim reality: when resources vanish, resilience takes on a whole new meaning. 🌾💔
