ZIAD IN GAZA

Ahmad joins us in the room. He tells us today he saw his friend who is an artist. He was in the street, boiling some water to make tea to sell. His friend had no gas canister, instead, he was burning wood. Ahmad was surprised to see the man using the frames of his own portraits to burn. “I need to make some money, I have a family to feed,” the friend told him.

Even wood is becoming scarce, and some are selling it to be used to boil water and in cooking. What else is left to be sold? Air?
