Gaza Youth Clubs Seek Better Life for Members
Poverty and unemployment has not stopped some of Gaza's youth from forming clubs to work for a better future.
“Faragh” (mearning leisure time) is a group of young Palestinian people, who gather regularly on a plot of land in front of al-Nasser al-Arabi Club in the al-Nasser neighborhood in Gaza. They discuss religion, politics, music and philosophy. Quite often, they are the only ones sitting in this area on a few modest chairs — a scene that signifies their modest lives. They like to call themselves the hard-working class.
On July 28, Al-Monitor attended one of their meetings, which are usually organized once a week during the daytime. However, during the month of Ramadan, the meetings were scheduled for a later hour. Thus, the group’s young women were unable to participate.
