Children and people gather to earn food during the war in the Gaza Strip

In the corridors of schools in Gaza, where this place has become a refuge for those displaced from their homes, children and families gather around their hope for a morsel to quell their hunger. Amidst the war, small amounts of food are distributed, barely enough to sustain them, yet hope remains alive in overcoming this ordeal. Each hand raised with an empty bowl tells a story of suffering and resilience in the face of the harsh realities they endure
