Creating a Lifeline: Handcrafted Clay Ovens Utilized in the Absence of Electricity

In Gaza, a lack of electricity and fuel has forced many Palestinians to get creative when it comes to cooking meals for their families. With the little food available, they have turned to using traditional clay ovens to prepare their meals.

These handmade dome-shaped structures are becoming more prevalent in Gaza as families struggle to find ways to feed themselves. Despite the difficult circumstances, Palestinians are determined to provide for their loved ones using whatever means necessary.

Al Jazeera’s Behdad Mahichi provides a closer look at how these handmade clay ovens are being used as a lifeline for many in Gaza facing food insecurity. As the humanitarian crisis in Gaza continues to worsen, these ovens serve as a symbol of resilience and determination in the face of adversity.
