Following our project to smuggle coffee into Gaza, Cafe para la Lucha, we wanted to go deeper and highlight some of the challenges facing our local friends in Gaza City.

In this short film, Aboud shares his struggles as he attempts to recover from the loss of his home and employment by improvising a coffee shop in the ruins of Gaza City. And while this effort to both support his family and community ultimately succumbs to the wider famine and genocide imposed on Gaza, it’s important to know more about the people who are suffering through it.
