He says that because he did food reviews of restaurants in Gaza before the war, he wanted to continue his passion for food blogging even as the war raged on in the backdrop.

Hamada Shaqoura, 33, says the kids motivate him to cook so that he can make them some of the meals they used to have before the war. Some of his videos have gone viral on TikTok, and he's since garnered hundreds of thousands of followers.

"We're trying to get as close to the taste as we can and make something delicious," he tells CBC freelance videographer Mohamed El Saife. "To remind us of that taste and remind us of those days."Before the war, Shaqoura was a food blogger and worked in social media marketing. His videos on TikTok and Instagram highlighted different restaurants in Gaza and reviewed their menu options. After the war began, Shaqoura didn't want his passion to go to waste.

His infamous frown is a representation of how Palestinians in Gaza are feeling, he says, after so many months of war ravaging the strip. "There was a period of time in Gaza where there were a lot of restaurants — Mexican restaurants, Italian restaurants related to pizza and pastries, and Western restaurants," he said. "And these are things that we as people, we miss eating."Aid has been difficult to come by in Gaza since the war began on Oct. 7, when Hamas-led militants launched an attack on southern Israel that killed over 1,200 and took over 250 hostage, according to Israeli figures.
