Since last Friday, there has been a fragile ceasefire between Israel and Hamas.
After eleven days of warfare, it is clear that the reconstruction of Gaza will take time.
In addition to the destruction of more than 1,000 homes, 56 schools and several hospitals were damaged in the bombings.
Electricity and water supply have also been affected.
The United States promises extra aid
Gaza is ruled by terrorist Hamas and the blockade of Gaza includes the import of building materials.
At the same time, diplomatic efforts are underway to ensure that Hamas-ruled terrorists in Gaza do not receive the humanitarian aid that is now being released.
The US Secretary of State today ended his trip to the Middle East, where he visited Israel, the Palestinian territories, Egypt and Jordan to strengthen the ceasefire between Israel and Hamas.
The United States promises extra aid to the Palestinians on condition that money and building materials do not benefit Hamas or go to strengthen the Islamist organization's arsenal.
During the recent fighting, Hamas fired more than 4,000 rockets at Israeli cities, killing 12 people.
Israeli bombings killed 254 people in Gaza.
"It feels good"
When the ceasefire was declared on Friday, Hamas declared it a victory.
But here in the racial masses among Hashim al Jarousha's customers, few feel like winners.
Hashim says he knows that reconstruction will not be easy, and that it will take time.
Meanwhile, he balances his scissors, comb and shaving brush on a rickety plastic table.
- It feels good to give some normal life to my customers, he says.
