Palestinian children in Gaza explore world

For most people in Gaza, it's just a dream to travel and explore the world outside the Israeli cruel blockade. The new generation has lived almost its whole life under the Israeli siege, learning about the world only through screens. The longstanding Israeli restriction on the movement of people and goods to and from Gaza has undermined the living conditions of over 2 million Palestinian residents.
Al-Amal Institute for orphans in Gaza is an independent non-governmental organization that pursues to bring about positive change in the culture of the community and raise awareness about orphans and their needs in order to ensure a better life for them and their families.
In its current form, the Israeli blockade of the occupied Gaza Strip has been in place since June 2007, when Israel imposed a full-scale land, sea, and air blockade on the area. The siege contravenes Article 33 of the Fourth Geneva Convention, which prohibits collective punishment that prevents the realization of a broad range of human rights. Families have been split, youths have been denied the opportunity to study and work outside Gaza, and many have been denied their right to receive basic healthcare. Three Gaza Children died in 2022 as a result of the Israeli occupation authorities' delays or refusal to grant them permits to exit Gaza for medical treatment.
The beleaguered Palestinians in Gaza live in a cycle of struggle. Blockaded, imprisoned, and denied basic human rights and needs. Now entering its 18th year, the Israeli blockade, created a generation seeing a window to the world outside. These kinds of events are a glimmer of hope for the children who, one day, want to break the siege and restore their right to freedom of movement.
