Palestinian youth are risking their lives to clear rubble in Gaza

By Tareq S. Hajjaj August 13, 2026 0

With reconstruction stalled in Gaza, boys as young as 14 are clearing the wreckage of destroyed homes by hand for as little as $10 a day. Often they are the breadwinners for their families and are forced to abandon their studies to work for survival.

The struggle to save the Palestinian wheat fields on the front lines of Israeli settler violence

By Majd Jawad August 11, 2026 4
