Patching has become a daily survival practice for displaced Palestinians in Gaza, Shehab Wire reported. Residents mend clothes, tents, water containers, and storage tanks with scraps of fabric as repeated damage and material scarcity leave few alternatives.
The practice reflects broader deprivation among the displaced population, who lack access to replacement goods and must extend the life of degraded possessions through repeated repairs.
