An elderly Palestinian barber, Zaki Abu Daghim, "Abu Ayman" 75, shaves for clients, in the central Deir al-Balah refugee camp in the Gaza Strip, on January 11, 2021. Living conditions are difficult with a quarter of the labor force unemployed and 24% of Palestinians living below the US$5.5 2011 PPP a day — even prior to the recent outbreak. A larger than expected decline in aid and a further spread of the COVID-19 virus pose significant downside risks. Photo by Mahmoud Ajjour
