Youth brought smiles to the faces of children in war-torn Gaza by interacting with animals

Despite the many challenges, grassroots initiatives and organizations work tirelessly to provide support and foster resilience among the population of Gaza. Local NGOs often fill the gaps left by international organizations, providing essential services, education, and vocational training. These efforts encourage community solidarity and empower individuals to seek alternative means of survival. However, the sustainability of such initiatives is often threatened by the overarching political and economic instability.
