After three years of the genocide in Gaza, what is there left to say?
It began long before. In 1948 came the Nakba, the great catastrophe. They went on subjugating us. Then the siege, year after year. Then it was streamed, live, every day. A genocide in full view of the world.
We are past words.
A bicycle only stands while it moves. So we move. Our bikes are rebuilt for the bodies that ride them, and every ride through Gaza is sumud: to stay, to hold the ground.
We hold it on two wheels.
Gaza remains. We remain.

What do you need for a movie night at a camp in Gaza? Just a projector, some popcorn, and a hundred excited kids who arrive before it even starts.
Each week, we pack our things and visit a new camp. This time, we showed Ali Baba. Once the screen was ready and the kids settled in, everyone was caught up in the story for a while.
Help us fly to the next camp and screen a new film for the children in Gaza.

How early would you wake up for bread?

In Gaza, many of our people start queuing before sunrise. They wait their turn, pay a nominal price for a single bundle, and return the next day to do it again.

Our distributions exist to lift a small part of that weight. In one day, we brought bread to about 1,200 families across 18 camps, so the hours spent in line could go somewhere else.

The dream is a bread distribution point in every camp and every place where people gather. Until then, we walk camp by camp, tent by tent.

How do athlete cyclists train when the occupation closes the roads and blocks the streets?

Last week, our riders in Gaza rode Al-Rashid Street, alongside riders in the West Bank, as part of I Will Cross This Road, a call to open our roads and give Palestinian athletes a chance to train and compete.

Al-Rashid Street used to be full of life, the street that never sleeps. Now it’s rubble. Some of our riders lost their legs on this very road, training on it before the war. They are training on it again.

This street is ours. Every street is ours.

Pizza day in Nuseirat.

Our chef and Abdelhakim led the pizza party team. They carried in a simple oven, hauled water that isn’t always easy to reach, and kneaded dough from scratch for a camp full of kids.
We do this every week, camp to camp. It’s simple food, but nothing about making it out here is simple. For an afternoon, kids get pizza while it’s still hot. That’s the whole point.
Share this so more people see what a pizza day here looks like. And if you can, help us keep them coming. Link in bio.

“And we love life if we find a way to it,” — Mahmoud Darwish.

On this ground, in these streets, that’s exactly what we're doing, dancing between what’s lost and what’s still standing, reaching upwards for something living to rise between us.

For the first time in a long time, we're training again in the North, by the sea. Like the good old days.

Things still aren't perfect. But we'll always find a way, because our love for this sport is stronger than the obstacles in our path.

what would you wish for?

Our health is better than millions of dollars or winning the world cup. We wish for the simple things in life. Nothing in life is better than that.

We're grateful to teach that gratitude to these little ones and brighten their day.

What does it look like to start your life from zero?

This is the life of the Gaza Sunbirds and of newly disabled people all over the world. Our team is an opportunity to find something new in the midst of loss. 🦾
