As Labour Day arrives, the residents of Khan Younis in the Gaza Strip find themselves preoccupied with the daunting task of clearing rubble. This effort continues seven months after a ceasefire that ended two years of conflict.

Workers in the area are engaged in round-the-clock efforts to restore their community, yet the financial rewards are minimal, often amounting to just a few euros daily. This income is insufficient to meet their basic needs.

The stark reality of rebuilding in Gaza highlights the challenges faced by its residents, who are focused on survival and recovery rather than participating in traditional Labour Day observances.
