00:00This video was recently captured at the Nazirat camp in Gaza, and these are many of the displaced
00:05children who are sheltering there, many of whom are finding solace through the power of music.
00:15Classes are being taught by volunteers, those who were once students at the Edward Said National
00:19Conservatory of Music in Gaza before the war. This is Salah Jabbar, one of the volunteer
00:25instructors. He says that he was sad that for so long the children of Gaza have been surrounded
00:29by the sounds of war and the cries of the dying, telling Reuters,
00:32So we decided to change these sounds that the Gazan children are listening to for a whole year.
00:37Instead of the sounds of shelling, we replace it with other sounds. And this seems to be a
00:41welcome diversion for the kids living under constant threat from Israel. Like this displaced
00:46Gazan, Malaka Bouchareb, she says that learning music is an escape from the gloomy war atmosphere
00:51and the monotony of standing in food and water lines, adding, The old days will return. We will
00:56rebuild our houses, return to the parks and fulfill all our dreams. We will return to grow up.
01:02We hope this extermination of us will end.
