Doctors, engineers and other professionals in Gaza are using tents as workplaces after losing offices and clinics. Al Jazeera describes a shortage of usable buildings and rents that many workers cannot afford. For these professionals, moving into a tent is often a response to destruction and financial pressure, rather than a preferred way to work.
A specialist in prosthetics and orthotics salvaged equipment after his clinics were destroyed and continued seeing patients in a temporary space. He says people needing artificial limbs or adjustments cannot always wait for normal conditions. An engineer also moved into a tent after losing both his office and the home where he had resumed work.
The tents help preserve income and access to services, but introduce daily difficulties. Workers describe heat, noise, unreliable electricity and little privacy. Teachers face shortages of seating and ventilation, while traders must protect goods overnight. Customers say temporary services are better than none, even as the cost and experience of obtaining them have changed.
