For Palestinians who have endured unimaginable suffering and for Israelis who have lived in anguish over hostages, this truce offers a fragile glimmer of hope.

This shop is my dream come true, says Maha from Iraq, who opened a cosmetics shop thanks to support from Caritas Czech Republic

Maha, now 40 years old, runs a small but carefully arranged shop in the centre of the Christian town of Karakosh in northern Iraq. She sells cosmetics, scarves, accessories, and sometimes even clothing – and says she does not need anything more to be happy. “I opened the shop after we returned home from Erbil, after the city was liberated from ISIS. Back then, we were living in a caravan – now I have my own business. And I’m truly grateful for that,” says Maha, who now runs her business thanks in part to the support of Caritas Czech Republic.

Gaza Beyond the Headlines: Documentary photography exhibition from the clinic of Caritas Czech Republic

The exhibition Gaza Beyond the Headlines offers viewers a glimpse into the lives of local people – clients of a clinic that is a joint project of Caritas Czech Republic, Caritas Jerusalem, and the local organisation Sawa. The project is co-financed by the Ministry of Foreign Affairs of the Czech Republic. The intimate photographs of those who were willing to share their experiences were taken in August of this year. Although their situation was already extremely dire at that time, it has deteriorated further in the weeks since. Due to the rapidly worsening security situation and increasing attacks in the area, the clinic's operations have had to be suspended, and a new location is being sought where its activities may be resumed.
