Gaza Tailors Shift To Diapers Amid Wartime Needs

Palestinians sew diapers in a workshop amid scarcity as the conflict between Israel and Hamas continues, in Rafah

In the midst of conflict and uncertainty in Gaza, tailors have shifted their focus from making bridal gowns to producing diapers to meet the urgent needs of families affected by the ongoing violence.

The recent escalation of violence between Israel and Palestinians in Gaza has led to a surge in demand for essential items such as diapers, as families struggle to cope with the challenges of living in a war-torn region.

Many tailors in Gaza have repurposed their sewing machines and skills to create diapers, recognizing the critical need for such basic supplies during times of crisis. This adaptation not only helps meet the immediate needs of families but also provides a source of income for the tailors amidst the turmoil.
