Gaza City, Gaza Strip — Since the Israeli navy stormed Turkey’s Mavi Marmara on May 31, 2010, which resulted in the killing of nine Turkish pro-Palestinian activists who were aboard the ship that was heading to the Gaza Strip in a bid to break the Israeli blockade imposed since 2007, Turkey has become an important destination for Palestinian youth seeking to study, work and lead a better life.
Since then, Palestinians had become increasingly interested in the Turkish culture and language, and Turkish language schools and institutes in the Gaza Strip gained popularity.
