参与者们在加沙城的工厂里花费三个月时间，将这些援助物资重新加工利用。在工厂的后屋里，数十名妇女坐在椅子上，仔细修补面粉袋上的破洞。每隔一段时间，其中两名妇女会围坐在一张小木桌旁，一起合作将面粉袋剪开；第三名妇女则负责用剪刀将面粉袋切成两半。
Participants spend 3 months with program repurposing aid materials In a factory in Gaza City, dozens of women sit in chairs lining the back room, picking at the stitches on bags of flour. Periodically, two of them will huddle together around a small wood table, holding both ends of one bag as a third woman cuts it in half with a pair of scissors.
空气中偶尔传来一些交谈声，但大多数妇女都安静地工作着。她们将这些面粉袋改造成手提包，通过折叠、切割和缝制等工序将其制成最终产品。
There’s some chatter in the air, but the women mostly work in silence. They are turning the sacks into tote bags, folding, cutting and sewing them into the final product.
在工厂的另一处，其他妇女负责最后的加工步骤：她们两人一组，分别坐在缝纫机前——其中一人负责将手提包的把手折叠在一起，另一人则负责将其缝制到位。
At another part of the factory, other women oversee the last step. They sit in pairs at each sewing machine, and one folds the handles of the bag together while the other sews them on.
这些妇女参与的是一项名为“以工代赈”的项目，旨在为流离失所的人们提供临时就业机会。该项目自4月以来一直由联合国世界粮食计划署（WFP）负责运营，为加沙地区的民众提供了在工厂工作的机会。参与者每月可获得1000谢克尔的报酬，约合462加元。
They are part of what's known as a cash-for-work program, meant to give displaced people temporary employment. This one has been run by the UN World Food Programme (WFP) since April, and offers people in Gaza the opportunity to work for three months at a factory, repurposing supplies originally given as aid, like bags of flour and wood pallets. Participants are paid 1,000 shekels a month, the equivalent of about $462 Cdn.
这笔收入对于一些家庭来说仅够购买一周的食品和生活必需品，实在不算很多。然而，在这个饱受战争摧残的地区，这对参与者来说既是收入来源，也是他们生活的意义所在。
The money doesn't go very far, covering about a week's worth of groceries and living essentials for some families. Still, for participants, it's a source of income as well as purpose in a territory that has been ravaged by war.
“我真的很想有一份工作，也很想有钱花——因为我的丈夫生病了，”38岁的瓦尔达·阿里瓦（Warda Aliwa）对CBC的自由摄影师穆罕默德·埃尔·赛菲夫（Mohamed El Saife）说道。
“I really wanted to have a job; I really wanted to have money to spend because my husband is sick,” Warda Aliwa, 38, told CBC freelance videographer Mohamed El Saife.
“这些面粉袋是外界给予我们的援助……用完面粉后，我们为什么要把它们扔掉呢？”阿里瓦说道，“我们可以把它们重新加工成袋子，然后用来装食物。”
“These bags of flour come to us as support from outside.... After they are emptied, why should we throw them away?” said Aliwa. “We make them into a bag and we put food in them.”
自加沙战争爆发以来，巴勒斯坦人的死亡人数已超过7.4万人。联合国人权事务高级专员表示，在加沙发现的遇难者遗骸引发了人们对战争罪行的担忧。
Palestinian death toll in Gaza war rises above 74,000 since war began UN rights chief says uncovered remains in Gaza raise concerns of war crimes 'I can stand on my own two feet' For some, the job means they’ll be able to feed their families for a while.
对于一些人来说，这份工作让他们能够暂时养活自己的家人。54岁的尼斯琳·阿巴斯负责照顾她的12个孙辈以及87岁的丈夫（她的丈夫需要坐轮椅）。
Nisreen Abbas, 54, cares for her 12 grandchildren and her 87-year-old husband, who is on a wheelchair.
“感谢上帝，我能够独立生活，”她说，“我会为孙辈们购买食物，也会为丈夫购买药品。”虽然这份工作只是暂时的，但对许多人来说却是一个宝贵的机会。自2025年10月以来，以色列和哈马斯一直保持着停火协议，但战争对加沙的经济造成了严重破坏。根据联合国的数据，去年加沙地区约78%的巴勒斯坦人处于失业状态；而在劳动年龄人口中，失业率更是高达90%以上。
“Thank God, I can stand on my own two feet,” she said. “I bring food for my grandchildren; I bring medicine for my husband.”Though temporary, the work is a welcome opportunity for many. Israel and Hamas have been under a ceasefire agreement since October 2025, but the impact of the war has decimated Gaza's economy. About 78 per cent of Palestinians in the enclave were unemployed last year, according to United Nations Trade and Development, with that figure shooting up to more than 90 per cent for the working-age population.
与此同时，人们获取日常生活用品变得越来越困难。尽管夏季有更多的商业卡车和援助物资运抵加沙，但根据联合国世界粮食计划署8月的报告，仍有四分之三的家庭表示难以进入市场购买所需物品，主要原因在于现金短缺和高昂的生活成本。
At the same time, it has become challenging for people to obtain everyday goods. Despite more commercial and aid trucks arriving over the summer, three-quarters of households reported difficulties accessing markets, largely due to cash shortages and high costs, according to the UN WFP's August report.
该项目负责人法滕·阿布·沙尔克表示，目前共有113名女性和20名男性参与了该项目，该项目每年都会更新一次。她们制作的产品会免费分发给当地居民和学校。
Faten Abu Sharkh, the project’s co-ordinator, says there are approximately 113 women and 20 men involved in the program, which will be renewed annually. The products they create are given to people and schools for free.
她说，这些女性通过这个项目看到了自己生活的积极变化：“她们参与这个项目，是为了改变自己的心态，并获得经济、社会和心理上的支持。”
She said the women have seen a positive change in their lives because of the program. “They worked on this project in order to change their mentality and give them financial, social and mental support,” she said.
“他们曾患有抑郁症，也接受了药物治疗，但感谢上帝，这份工作改变了他们的心理状态。”在巨大的损失之后，工厂的另一个区域逐渐恢复了些许正常秩序——工人们正在处理那些曾经用来运输救援物资的木托盘，他们用撬棍小心地将这些托盘拆解开来。他们将损坏的木块分类并丢弃，然后利用完好的木块打磨、切割并重新组装，为有需要的人制作小桌子和储物架。
“They had depression and they were given medication but thank God, the work changed their mentality.”Some normalcy after tremendous loss Nearby in a different part of the factory, men work on wood pallets that once carried aid, carefully taking them apart with crowbars. They sort and throw out the broken pieces, working with the ones still intact. They sand the wood down, cutting and putting it together to create small tables and shelving units for those in need.
50岁的哈立德·阿尔-库尔德在战争中失去了妻子、女儿、家园以及自己的缝纫生意。他说：“对我来说，那是一场彻底的崩溃……一切都被毁掉了。”不过，这份工作帮助他重新找回了生活的希望：“虽然资源非常有限，但它确实让我们能够维持基本的生活。”
Khaled al-Kurd, 50, lost his wife, his daughter, his home and his sewing business in the war. “It was a total collapse for me,” he said. “Total destruction.”But he said this job helped bring him back to some semblance of normalcy. “There is a small amount of resources, but it helps us in life."
在加沙，至少有21人遇难，其中许多是儿童。CBC对此进行了调查……以色列是否正在试图掩盖在加沙犯下的战争罪行？当参与者与世界粮食计划署（WFP）的合作结束后，他们将不得不自己寻找出路。许多人希望这个项目能够继续下去，以便他们能够继续工作并维持收入来源。阿里瓦说：“我们正在做一些有益的事情。”
At least 21 killed in Gaza, including many children, as unstable building collapses CBC InvestigatesIs Israel erasing evidence of alleged war crimes in Gaza? A visual investigation Once participants' time with the WFP is over, they will have to find their way on their own. Many already wish they can get another chance with the program. “I would like for this to be renewed, for us to keep working and for the income to keep coming to us,” said Aliwa. “We are doing something beneficial.”With files from Mohamed El Saife
