Gaza: One year on
One year ago, conflict erupted in Gaza. One year on, we returned to find out how young people were faring.
Watch our films made by a group of seven young people from Gaza during a two-week video workshop. They live in Beit Hanoun, an agricultural town in the north of Gaza very close to the border with Israel. It came under heavy shelling during the conflict, and is still affected by the blockade.
Samar lives in Beit Hanoun in the north of Gaza. Her brother Mohammed was 20 when a rocket killed him in 2008. Samar's neighbour Wa'ad also lost her three-year-old sister when their house was bombed. Watch Samar's story to find out how young people recover from the trauma caused by war.
