In northern Gaza, where conflict has left families scrambling for basic necessities, carpenter Saber Dawas is stepping up with a creative solution: crafting wooden shoes for children who have none. 🌍✨
Dawas, a father of six, saw kids in his community walking barefoot as prices soared and supplies dwindled. \"Diseases are rampant here, and the children could get injured,\" he said. Using wood scavenged from tents and borrowed tools, he now builds durable footwear to protect young feet—and hopes to sell affordable pairs soon. 🪵👣
While wooden shoes might sound like a medieval trend, Dawas’s DIY grit highlights how Gazans are adapting to survive. His story isn’t just about carpentry—it’s about community resilience in the face of hardship. 💪❤️
