Israel Palestinians Gaza

In Gaza, some Palestinian children are finding respite from the harsh realities of life in breakdancing. A school in Nuseirat refugee camp trains them in break dance, gymnastics, and contemporary dance. An instructor says the school helps the kids build self-confidence and find catharsis. One student says she goes there to release negative energy and enjoy herself. Israel’s military offensive, triggered by the Hamas-led militants' attack on Israel on Oct. 7, 2023, has killed tens of thousands of Palestinians in Gaza, caused widespread destruction and displaced most of the territory’s residents. A fragile ceasefire took effect on Oct. 10, but many daily challenges persist in Gaza.
