Palestinian youth seek way out of tough Gaza life
Palestinians living in the Gaza Strip were already suffering under a crippling blockade, which saw the poverty-stricken people turn to secret tunnels for support, but after Israel's deadly assault that left more than 1, 330 people dead; it seems most people just want to get out. Widowed mothers, orphaned children and anyone with relatives out of Gaza are all desperate to get away from the rampant death and destruction, worsened by Israel's 22-day assault. For 20-year-old Gazans Ahmed and Mohammed--stranded on the devastated coastal strip sandwiched between Egypt and Israel--they have just one dream-- get out of Gaza as fast as they can. And across the border an Israeli widow said she was desperately trying to bring three of her children out of Gaza after her Palestinian husband was killed in the blitz on the coastal enclave.
