GAZA, March 8 (Xinhua) -- Balancing a small basket of freshly baked cakes on her head, Areej al-Ahmad moves slowly through the narrow alleys of a displacement camp in Khan Younis, calling out to the few customers who pass between tents and piles of rubble.
Nearly two years ago, the 37-year-old mother lost her husband in an Israeli airstrike that struck a neighboring house. The explosion also injured her leg, leaving her in constant pain. Since then, she has been raising their three children alone.
