Life rising amid the rubble in Khan Younis (2/2)

Abdallah Alsayed، Zuheir Dola 2 دقيقة قراءة

Despite the horrific scenes of destruction throughout Khan Younis, some residents have returned to live on the ruins of their homes in a journey of reverse displacement following the commencement of the Israeli military’s operations in Rafah on May 6.

Khan Younis has suffered wide-scale destruction that has destroyed most homes and wiped out all signs of life. There is no water, electricity, or other functioning infrastructure — as though an earthquake has flattened the city. And yet homes that have been reduced to rubble are again serving as shelters to Khan Younis residents, and life is rising anew from the city’s ruins. In addition to the resettlement of residents, commercial markets are resuming activity. Minimal and haphazard, commercial activity centers around makeshift tables and kiosks that have been set up outside destroyed shops.
