Gaza City – The ongoing Israeli blockade and economic collapse have left many Palestinians, particularly youth, struggling to find stable employment. Hala Mohammed al-Maghrabi, a recent nursing graduate, shifted to social media marketing for survival, reflecting a broader trend of innovation amidst crisis as traditional job opportunities vanish. With Gaza’s unemployment rate at 69%, and 80% among young adults, many are forced to adapt, like Mohammed al-Hajj, who repurposed his property into a workspace for online exams. Entrepreneurs like Ahmed Fares Abu Zayed have innovated energy solutions using waste materials to navigate the dire economic landscape.
