Young Palestinians are turning concrete slabs, rubble and damaged rooftops in Gaza City into improvised skate parks to keep their sport alive. Like much of the Strip, most skate parks have been destroyed by Israel's war. Young people are attracted to skating to support their mental well-being. It offers rare moments of normalcy, and a sense of freedom amid all the devastation. Al Jazeera’s Hind Khoudary reports from Gaza City, Palestine.
