"Ibrahim, 24 years old, starts his day in the early hours of the morning and works until evening, employed as a labourer with a local contracting company clearing debris from buildings destroyed during Israel's genocidal war on Gaza."
"It's very exhausting work. I never imagined in my life that I would work in such a profession, Ibrahim told Al Jazeera, taking a few minutes to rest before continuing."
"What I earn does not exceed 80 shekels ($27) a day but compared to the level of fatigue and exhaustion I face, it's a small amount and doesn't even cover the basic needs of my family amid these harsh conditions and soaring prices."
Gaza's economic crisis has led to soaring unemployment and perilous job conditions for workers. Ibrahim Abu al-Eish, a 24-year-old laborer, clears debris from destroyed buildings. He began this work after a ceasefire in October, driven by the need to support his family of nine. Despite the dangers and exhausting nature of the job, he earns only 80 shekels ($27) a day, which is insufficient to meet his family's basic needs amid rising prices and harsh living conditions.
