Recycling Plastic in Gaza as a Means of Survival (PHOTOS) "ConflictWatch Feed Palestine"
Many children in Gaza work full-time doing this kind of job. They tell us that it is exhausting, has no future, and is hardly rewarding.
Akram al-Hadaf is an 18-year-old teenager from the town of Beit Lahiya, in the northern Gaza Strip.
Like many in his generation, he had to join the workforce to support his family.
Thanks to Israels hermetic siege on Gaza, the small region has one of the highest rates of unemployment and poverty in the world.
Akrams job is to collect and sell plastic to those who are able to recycle them for possible reuse.
He wakes up very early in the morning and spends most of the day visiting Gazas many dumping grounds, looking for plastic, which he sells at the end of each day.
Akram told the Palestine Chronicle that his daily income averages about 15 shekels a day (about $4).
Many children in Gaza work full-time doing this kind of job. They tell us that it is exhausting, has no future, and is hardly rewarding.
However, it is enough, they say, to put food on the table.
Gazas poverty has historically been linked to the Israeli occupation.
The last twenty years, however, have been particularly difficult, as Israel has imposed a very tight siege on Gaza.
That, and the repeated Israeli wars, have made life in Gaza very difficult, if at all bearable.
Akram and his friends, however, have no other option but to do whatever they can to ensure the very survival of their families.

Israeli illegal settler faces 'terrorism' charges over West Bank mosque vandalism "IndyWatch Feed World"
Israelis are rarely punished for crimes committed against Palestinians, particularly in the occupied West Bank. Israeli prosecutors have filed charges related to "terrorism" against a Jewish settler accused of vandalising a mosque as part of anti-Palestinian rampages in the occupied West Bank last month, which drew a rare demand from the United States for accountability. The spree of vandalism and arson by hundreds of settlers in several villages and towns followed the June 20 killing of four Israelis by Hamas gunmen, which in turn was a response to a deadly Israeli raid on the Jenin refugee camp that killed seven Palestinians and wounded more than 90 others. At least one man was killed in the village of Turmus Ayya. Many of the Palestinians who lost property in the subsequent settler rampage were US dual nationals.
