Palestinian Entrepreneurs Open Restaurants in Cairo

Amid ongoing conflict, Palestinians are facing immense challenges, with many fleeing Gaza to seek refuge in Egypt and other areas. A poignant account shared by a mother highlights the traumatic experience of evacuating Gaza City on her twins' birthday, a day that turned from celebration to survival amidst the threat of Israeli bombardments. In Cairo, a growing number of Palestinian entrepreneurs are establishing businesses, transforming parts of the city into 'Little Gaza', providing a sense of community and familiarity despite the hardships they face. The resilience of displaced Palestinians is also evident in Gaza, where makeshift businesses are emerging in newly designated 'safe zones' like Al-Mawasi, showcasing their determination to rebuild their lives. However, the harsh realities of war leave many questioning when they will be able to return home and restore their lives. The emotional toll of displacement and loss remains heavy as families struggle to adapt to their new circumstances.
