Crocheting against the cold

Two siblings in Gaza are keeping displaced children warm by making clothes and distributing them free of charge to those in need.

Aseel al-Khalidi, who makes the sweaters out of wool, said the lack of warm clothing for her children inspired her to help others.

For over a month, about 13,000 children’s clothing kits have been awaiting entry into Gaza from the West Bank and more than 11,000 children’s clothing kits have already been lost due to looting … As a result, only 19,000 children’s clothing kits out of a total of 220,000 procured kits have so far entered Gaza.

These were given to vulnerable children, including newborn babies in hospitals and children in residential care.

Bought a belt from the men’s section. I could not find anything I liked from the women’s range, they were narrower, shorter and more expensive - none were made of leather, which meant having to replace my belt every year. I think this one will last me for the rest of my life. Belts shouldn’t be gendered but they are! #clothing
