Before the current conflict, summer in Gaza was a cherished time for families, filled with beach outings and gatherings. However, since the outbreak of war in April 2025, many Gazans have been forcibly displaced and are now living in makeshift tents. The conditions in these tents are dire, offering little protection from the heat and lacking basic necessities. This situation has turned what was once a joyful season into a painful reminder of loss and suffering, with many describing their experience as 'hell.'
These simple gatherings brought beauty to the season and made it something to look forward to each year.
Many describe summer in these tents as 'hell,' as they lack even the simplest means to cope with the intense heat amid a complete electricity blackout.
I try to spray water over the nylon from time to time to reduce the heat, but all my efforts are in vain.
The latest Israeli war on Gaza has turned even these modest pleasures into distant memories.
