Description
In a street in front of a destroyed house in Gaza Strip's Nuseirat, energetic children do back spins and fast footwork as they learn how to breakdance. "I decided to form a troupe and call it 'Breaking 48' so that we can support the children [emotionally]. I know that it might pose a danger to us and them [due to strikes], but we are trying.. to relieve the children’s mental pressure," says Mohammed El Shafei, a breakdance coach, as he explains the goals he set when forming the troupe to entertain children in the war-torn Palestinian territory.
