This sweet factory in Gaza is run by workers who are deaf or hard of
hearing.

The Hanan Sweet Factory produces Arab candies and desserts in Gaza City.

“At first I thought it would be difficult, I didn’t know how I would
communicate with him,” Muhammad al-Ghazali, the owner of the factory,
told The Electronic Intifada about hiring the first worker.

“But when he came to work I found he had high concentration and very
good talent.”

“When I first came here, my job was to put nuts on sweets. But I learned
and developed new skills and started making them from scratch,” says
Mouin al-Siksik, a worker at the factory.
