Two Palestinian youths in Gaza who work in a coffee stand, moved away from their traditional offering and made a large vat of lentil soup which they distributed to passers-by.
The community building project came to life as temperatures in the Strip dropped, and the men wanted to provide their countrymen a warm and traditional dish which would help them see through the day.
The initiative was welcomed by the local community and taxi drivers who are among Gaza’s lost earners.
