""This work is deadly, under the sun, in the smoke with toxic materials and fire..." "I used to be happy. I used to go to school, enjoy it and play" At just 13 years old, Yamen Taha spends his days melting plastic into fuel, surrounded by smoke, fire, and toxic fumes. He used to be a top student—happy, playful, reciting the Quran, and kicking a football in the street. “We were living our best life,” he tells Sahat English. Now, displaced by war and forced into labor, Yamen works from 7 a.m. until after sunset, earning just 25 shekels a day—barely enough for a few loaves of bread. @DropSiteNews @FranceskAlbs @RamAbdu #Gaza #GazaGenocide" - Source
