The Wider Image: In Gaza, women walk thin line between hope and despair
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. Nada Rudwan used to work in digital marketing, but as her work slowed - unemployment in Gaza stands at nearly 50 percent - she decided to put her tech skills towards one of her passions: cooking. "It was difficult to find a job, so I thought of doing something I like and that will make me money at the same time," said Rudwan, 27, who posts cooking tutorials to social media platforms under the name "Nada Kitchen".
