Inside a Displacement Tent: Sherin Nassar Weaves Details of Joy to Secure Her Family's Bread

In a displacement tent in the Mawasi area west of Khan Younis, Sherin Nassar (40) has turned her tent into a small workshop for preparing wedding supplies, after losing her project in Rafah due to the war. She makes flower bouquets, henna supplies, and decorates wedding cars, while the tent turns into a shelter for her family at night. She faces shortages of raw materials and rising prices, but continues with the support of her niece Rawan, who works with her despite graduating in information technology.

In a displacement tent in the Mawasi area west of Khan Younis, Sherin Nassar (40) has turned her tent into a small workshop for preparing wedding supplies, after losing her project in Rafah due to the war. She used to run a Palestinian embroidery project at the 'Trends' store before it was destroyed by the Israeli army. Now she makes flower bouquets for brides, prepares Bedouin henna supplies, decorates wedding cars, and makes baskets for engagement rings, shawls, veils, table covers, and rents some items. She faces shortages of raw materials and rising prices, so she replaced the glue gun with a small torch. Her niece Rawan Nassar, a graduate in information technology who could not find a job due to the war, works with her. Rawan says: 'We make joy so that people return to life again.' Despite the pain, Sherin insists on continuing as a message of hope.
