Watan-palestinian Captain and content creator Amr Shoukry, forced by the difficult conditions of war and tragic reality, to change his primary profession as a football coach and content creator on YouTube, to selling sweets to the displaced in one of the streets of Rafah city in southern Gaza Strip.
Palestinian Captain Amr Shoukry said in an interview with Al-Sharq News channel, after being displaced with his family to Rafah city in the southern Gaza Strip, “I had to work in selling sweets in order to support my family.”

Captain Shoukry added, “My wedding was on the seventh of October last year, which was the first day of the war. I didn’t even have a wife with me.”
And he concluded, “I used to sell pistachios, almonds, and sesame seeds, and today I sell kullaj.”
Around 1.4 million Palestinian displaced persons live in Rafah city, displaced from the northern areas, Gaza city, and Khan Younis, seeking refuge in this small border city with Egypt, due to the continuous indiscriminate shelling by the Israeli occupation on various areas of the Gaza Strip.
The Israeli occupation army continues its genocide, ethnic cleansing, and forced displacement of Palestinian civilians since declaring war on Gaza on the 7th of October last year until this moment.
The Israeli occupation committed more than 3,000 massacres against civilians, including children and women, in various parts of the Gaza Strip, according to statistics from the Gaza Government Media Office.
It is worth noting that the toll of the Israeli war on Gaza reached about 29,000 Palestinian martyrs, most of them civilians, with around 69,000 others injured in various degrees, while about 8,000 are still missing under the rubble of destroyed homes due to indiscriminate shelling and the shortage of resources among civil defense and rescue personnel in evacuating them, according to the latest report issued by the Palestinian Ministry of Health in Gaza so far.
