As indirect negotiations between Israel and Hamas persist, ordinary Palestinians in Gaza express deepening despair over their dire living conditions, despite the proposed ceasefire. Residents report skyrocketing prices, lack of essential services such as clean water and electricity, and difficulties accessing medical care. The situation has fostered corruption and exploitation among local merchants. For families like Walid Abu Daqqa's, the return to a semblance of normalcy remains elusive, with the looming threat of renewed conflict dominating daily life as aid from Israel is cut off post-ceasefire.
"I don't know what to say. There is simply no life. There is nothing we don't struggle with," Walaa Mahmoud shared, highlighting the overwhelming crises facing everyday Palestinians.
"We used to endure bombings and death. Now, there is poverty, high prices, exploitation, and harsh conditions that dominate our lives," Walid Abu Daqqa reflected on the current plight in Gaza.
