July 11, 2018 - Gaza City, The Gaza Strip, Palestine - Palestinian charcoal worker Abu Ashraf al-Hattab piles wood at the Al Habbash production facility, east of the Jabaliya refugee camp, northern Gaza City, Gaza Strip, on July 11, 2018. The Al Habbash charcoal-making facility is the largest producer in the Gaza strip. Seven men work throughout the year, especially during winter and holidays periods when coal is in high demand. While workers cut down various types of trees, firewood is typically used to make charcoal. The citrus tree is very useful and the most expensive but the Al Habbash workers don't focuse on that one only and handle over available types like some Elkinia or Olive. After harvesting the trees, workers shape the wood into a pyramid which is buried beneath the sand. The pyramid is set on fire, and it burns from the inside for several days. During this period, workers must control the burning by regularly moistening the pyramid with water. When the fire has subsided, the sand is cleared, leaving the burned wood exposed for a 6-day period. The workers are then able to harvest and clean the raw charcoal. Finally, any excess is mechanically ground off. At the end of the production process, customers can purchase bags of charcoal directly from the factory. One kilo is sold for US$1.50 on site and US$2.00 in the markets. Charcoal is typically used by Palestinians for practical purposes, such as cooking and heating.
