Photographer Eman Mohammed focuses her lens on a little-known aspect of life in Gaza - the Al Habbash coal mine in Beit Hanoun, where the salary for a hard day's labor is between $3 and $5, plus a package of cigarettes.

The coal, which is used for nargilehs (traditional water pipes) and barbecuing, has been mined using traditional methods since early 2009, after the IDF destroyed the machinery.
