Hundreds of football fans across Gaza watched Tuesday's Argentina v Egypt World Cup match amid the rubble of shattered buildings. Many waved Egyptian flags, a nation that shares a border with the enclave and has been a mediator in ceasefire talks with Israel.
The game ended 3‑2 in favor of Argentina, advancing them to the quarter‑finals. Despite the ongoing conflict, civilians found a moment of unity and hope in the sport, with fans celebrating in torn streets while calling for peace.
