Palestinian amputee soccer players take part in training session in Central Gaza Strip

Palestinian amputee soccer players take part in a training session of their team at Municipality Stadium in Deir Al Balah, in the central Gaza Strip, on May 10, 2018. For the first time in the Palestinian Gaza Strip, a football team of male amputees was recently formed to lay the foundation for such a sport in the Israeli-blockaded territory. The 12-player team, named "The Heroes", could be a glimmer of hope for many young people with amputations caused by frequent rounds of violence with Israel and other accidents. (Xinhua/Stringer)??
