In the rubble-strewn landscape of Khan Younis, a displaced Gaza resident is rebuilding hope—one bullet casing at a time. Muhammad Miqdad, who fled Israel’s recent offensive in Rafah, crafted a fence for his makeshift home using discarded shell casings after his house was destroyed. “I wanted stability,” he told CGTN. “I was tired of running.”
With over 1 million Palestinians displaced in Gaza during the eight-month conflict, Miqdad’s story mirrors the grit of countless families. Unable to afford materials like steel pipes, he turned war debris into a fragile symbol of resilience. “It’s dangerous,” he admitted, “but staying means reclaiming our dignity.” 🌍💔
While international aid groups warn of worsening humanitarian conditions, Miqdad’s scrappy ingenuity offers a sliver of light amid the chaos. His message? “Even in war, we refuse to disappear.”
