This is a wonderful glimpse into the lives of the incredible Parkour loving Wallrunners of Gaza. Beautiful and heart rending as we watch them parkour training in a war zone to one day become champions and escape their poverty and war torn land.
Meet the Wall-runners of Gaza.

I have watched them for a while and they are brilliant. It never ceases to amaze me as to how these courageous Palestinian youths refuse to just give up all hope.
I have spoken to quite a few people from Gaza over the years, and the way that they deal with adversity leaves me very much humbled.
May they realise their dreams.

Thank you katdvine,
I totally agree ... the strength of the human spirit is a constant amazement! These people and sadly many others around the world have suffered from war for far too long - I feel humanity is at a watershed moment when it just might put into practice the "obvious" ... and stop hurting people for money and start to allow all to prosper and be truly free. The internet has taught the masses how and why these mistakes were made - it's time to take intelligent peaceful action.
keep well :D

Thank you for sharing this video.
I have had a love of Parkour since the day I first learned about it back in 2012, thou I am much to old to participate in it, I really enjoy watching it when I can.
If I could turn back the clock and know about Parkour in my early teens, I would probably be doing it today.
