PALESTINIAN-GAZA-ISRAEL-CONFLICT

The Palestinian Yasser Abu Harbid, a 50-year-old displaced from northern Gaza to Deir al-Balah, lives in a school run by the United Nations Relief and Works Agency (UNRWA). He finds a unique source of income by rehabilitating and restoring damaged and worn-out banknotes due to the absence of currency transfers from Israeli banks to Palestinian banks. The process involves four steps: removing impurities and adhesives, washing the banknotes, applying heat, and then using a special adhesive for currencies, bringing the banknotes back to their original state within an hour to two days, in Deir el-Balah, Gaza Strip, on September 17, 2024, amid the ongoing conflict between Israel and the Palestinian militant group Hamas.
