GAZA CITY, Gaza Strip — Tala Awaida looks confident while strutting down the runway surrounded by lights and music in Gaza City on June 6. As soon as the 6-year-old arrives to the edge of the podium, she turns left and right and sends out kisses to the audience before returning to her initial spot.
The dress Awaida wore was part of the collection sold at Crocodile-Kids, a well-known children’s clothing store in Gaza. The price tag on her outfit was $65. The other participants’ outfits cost about the same.
