Dreams of survival: How war has restructured Gaza’s job market

The article discusses how the war in Gaza has restructured the job market, particularly in the form of art and graphic design, with 25-year-old Abdulrahman al-Awadi describing how he became a mobile phone charging station in Gaza City, a job that emerged during the war and has since become his livelihood. During the war, al-awadi was displaced with his family to southern Gaza for a year and a half and was unable to retain his fine arts and design skills after being displaced. He now works behind a charging point near his home, charging phones, selling food and water, or providing essential services to support his family. This shift reflects a wider situation in which traditional professions have disappeared and new jobs have emerged, largely due to the conflict's disruption and instability.
