"Before the war, I worked in fine arts and graphic design, and I was still taking my first steps in the world of exhibitions and advertising. Today, as you can see, I work behind a small charging point near my home, trying to secure the bare-minimum income to get by."
"During the war, I was displaced with my family to southern Gaza for a year and a half. There, I tried to hold onto some of my experience in fine arts and design, but I was too distracted. Everything around me was bombardment, destruction, and fear."
In Gaza, professionals like Abdulrahman al-Awadi are adapting their careers due to the war's impact. Al-Awadi, a fine arts graduate, now operates a mobile phone charging station. His previous work in art and design has been replaced by this new venture, which provides minimal income. Displacement during the war disrupted his artistic pursuits, and upon returning home, he found his art supplies gone. The ongoing conflict has forced many to abandon their original careers for survival.
