PHOTOS: In Gaza, women walk thin line between hope and despair via yahoophoto
GAZA CITY, Gaza Strip — Amid the poverty and deprivation of the Gaza Strip, Palestinian women struggle to find a taste of normality that is taken for granted in much of the rest of the world.
Rudwan said she earns income from YouTube proceeds and that several companies in Saudi Arabia recently purchased her videos. Israel maintains tight control of Gaza’s land and sea borders, citing security concerns emanating from Hamas, the Islamist group that controls the coastal territory. Egypt also restricts movement in and out of Gaza on its border.
Other Gaza women say community pressures weigh on them as they seek to bypass Gaza’s economic struggles by working jobs which some see as nontraditional. “I hate some comments. But I love my job and hope to have my own business,” Yaghi, 28, said, adding she wants to become the “first female party planner” in Gaza.
