Amidst the devastation of conflict in Gaza, displaced Palestinians share heartbreaking stories of losing everything, including basic necessities like shoes. With limited resources and no income, they face immense challenges in rebuilding their lives.

Many people in the Gaza Strip are forced to walk barefoot or in worn-out shoes as a result of the devastation and poverty exacerbated by the war. Some were forced to flee in a hurry, leaving their home with just the clothes they were wearing.

One husband and wife take turns wearing the same worn-out shoes.

“This is my husband’s sandals. We alternate. Whoever is out puts them on,” the woman said.

“I cannot even find a second-hand pair of shoes. I cannot afford to feed my child, let alone buy shoes,” she added. “We ran for our lives and all our possessions, if not destroyed, were left behind. Now, [we are] displaced in the south, empty-handed.”

A cobbler in the Strip said that at the beginning of the war, people in Gaza still had some money for shoe repairs. Now, people have run out of all means, and he can’t find materials to fix any orders he does get.

“It is a plight. A misery,” he said.
