Break-dancing group brings hope to Gaza youth

In the Gaza Strip a Hamas spiritual leader has lambasted UN efforts to teach Palestinian children about the Holocaust. Younis-al-Astal said it was a “war crime” to teach the Holocaust, after he heard a UN agency planned to introduce the issue in Gaza schools.

The Gaza Strip currently suffers from an Israeli blockade that has led to high levels of poverty and unemployment among youth.  Despite this, there are pockets of creativity and signs of resilience.  A team of break dancers is responding to Gaza´s hardships and inspiring local youth. FSRN´s Rami Almeghari has the story.
