                    "GAZA CITY, Gaza Strip \u2014 Report by Nesma Al-HarazinIn a place where war has destroyed factories, closed businesses and upended livelihoods, some people are choosing to begin again \u2014 not from zero, but from what remains beneath the rubble.For some, rebuilding starts with a handful of sewing machines salvaged from a destroyed factory. For others, it begins in a small home kitchen with flour, spices and a phone used to take orders.Rafiq Al-Harazeen and his wife, Umm Ahmad, are trying to revive a tailoring business that once employed more than 30 people. Islam Al-Khaldi and her husband, Mohammad Al-Akhras, are rebuilding a home-based food business that grew out of Islam\u2019s cooking and their shared experience in media.Their stories are different, but the message is much the same: In Gaza, work has become more than a way to earn money. For many families, it is a way to preserve independence, dignity and a sense of normal life.50 Machines Beneath the RubbleOn the balcony of a rented home in Gaza City\u2019s Al-Sabra neighborhood, Haj Rafiq Al-Harazeen, known as Abu Ahmad, stands beside his wife.The couple was displaced from Al-Shuja'iyya, where their family had built a life around a tailoring factory. Fifty sewing machines remain buried beneath the ruins of the factory, which once employed more than 30 workers who arrived each morning and left at the end of the day with their wages.The factory had been more than a workplace. Its machines once filled the space with a steady hum, while Umm Ahmad checked measurements, inspected fabrics and helped make decisions before finished clothes reached the market.Rafiq spent 13 years working for a company in the Gulf before returning to Gaza in 1995 with his wife and their six children. He wanted to build a business that could provide stability for his family.The idea came partly from watching one of his brothers work in tailoring. Rafiq bought sewing machines and equipment and opened a workshop with him. Eventually, the brothers went their separate ways and operated their own businesses.Rafiq\u2019s factory grew gradually. He worked alongside his employees, repaired machines himself and taught new workers how to operate them. Umm Ahmad was involved in the business as well, inspecting finished clothes and advising on the work.Their children also grew up around the factory, helping after school.Over the years, the number of workers rose above 30. The factory became a source of income for Rafiq\u2019s family and dozens of other households.They called it their \u201csecond home.\u201dThen the war shut its doors.\u201cWhen the war on Gaza started, everything was being bombed,\u201d Rafiq said quietly. \u201cI had to leave it. I left my whole life in there.\u201dThe family was first displaced to Nuseirat and later to Rafah. There, they saw people improvising ways to make clothes from bed sheets and old garments as prices soared and basic sewing supplies became difficult to find.\u201cThere were days during our displacement to Rafah when we couldn\u2019t find a single needle for sewing,\u201d Umm Ahmad said. \u201cAnd we couldn\u2019t buy a machine either. We were sewing by hand.\u201dDuring the first truce in January 2025, the family returned to Gaza City.What they found was the remains of their factory.Some machines and equipment had been damaged. Fifty sewing machines remained buried under the rubble.Rafiq stood for a long time outside the destroyed building, looking at the place where he had spent years building his livelihood. Umm Ahmad stood beside him.There was another loss that was harder to comprehend.Their son, Saif, went missing after crossing a checkpoint following the first Israeli military raid on Al-Shifa Hospital. His family has not learned what happened to him.His absence remains part of their daily lives.\u201cEvery time I turn on a machine, I imagine Saif standing next to me,\u201d Umm Ahmad said.Still, the couple tried again.They resumed work inside their home in Al-Shuja'iyya, repairing the machines that could still be salvaged. A few former workers returned.\u201cFor a moment, the factory felt like it was coming back,\u201d Umm Ahmad said. \u201cWe felt like the world was coming back too.\u201dThen the bombing resumed.More of the equipment they had managed to restore was damaged. The family left again, this time for Al-Sabra, taking about six machines with them.They hoped they would soon be able to return.\u201cI heard on the news that in two days everything would be back to normal,\u201d Rafiq said.\u201cI could still smell Saif in Gaza,\u201d Umm Ahmad added. \u201cThat\u2019s why we stayed.\u201dThe couple began buying equipment again and set up a small workshop with limited resources.A narrow room. Dim light. Six sewing machines.\u201cToday my workshop is in Al-Sabra,\u201d Rafiq said. \u201cIt\u2019s nothing like my old factory.\u201dBut the workshop has become more than a place to sew. It is an effort to rebuild a livelihood and preserve what remains of a family business.Their six children, who grew up with the sound of sewing machines around them, have returned to help in different ways. The eldest daughter cuts fabric. A son receives customers. The younger children sort thread and assist with other tasks.Neighbors began coming not only to have clothes repaired, but also to talk with Rafiq about the days when the larger factory was operating. Some offered to help without payment.Orders remain limited, and the income is far below what the factory once generated. Yet Rafiq insists on paying a small wage to two workers who returned with him from Al-Shuja'iyya.\u201cThese men fed their families because of me before,\u201d he said. \u201cI can\u2019t abandon them now.\u201dThe workshop needs fabric, raw materials and capital. High prices and shortages have made it difficult for Rafiq to bring back all of his former workers.Tailoring, he says, is no longer the business it once was. Closed crossings, shortages, destruction and repeated displacement have changed nearly every part of production.Asked what he finds hardest to forget, Rafiq paused.\u201cHelplessness,\u201d he said. \u201cThat feeling crushes you.\u201dFor him, the factory was never simply a building filled with machines. It was the livelihood of dozens of families.Umm Ahmad remembers another part of what was lost: seven new sewing machines Rafiq had purchased only months before the war and stored at their home in Al-Shuja'iyya.\u201cThe occupation left us with neither a home nor a job,\u201d she said.Yet the machines that survived are still running.In the small workshop in Al-Sabra, Rafiq and Umm Ahmad continue to sew."
