Gazan dressmakers turn waste into wardrobes for children

Dressmakers from the southern Gazan city of Khan Yunis work through power shortages and soaring costs as they collect burnt fabrics to design and make new dresses, mainly for children. "When I go to Gaza [City] to get the fabric, I take it from a place that's been destroyed, from old fabric that's available, which was probably damaged by shrapnel or burnt," says tailor Amir al-Rantisi.
