Gaza Internet Shows Provide Comic Relief
Homemade shows via YouTube are proving to be a hit in Gaza, offering a different perspective on life in the Strip.
The Internet is Ahmed Balousha's only reprieve from the isolation of Gaza. Balousha, 24, hosts a weekly YouTube show called "Shareeda" from Beit Lahia, a suburb just outside Gaza City.
Shareeda is a game that Gazan children play on the streets. It involves two teams trying to catch each other.
“This game is what life in Gaza is like,” says Balousha in the show's introduction. “One person is trying to escape while the other is trying to catch him.”
