In the Nuseirat refugee camp, boys and girls from different ages gather every week to dance among the rubble, finding moments of relief and support by dancing.
Fayez Saraj is one of the instructors leading the project that existed before the war erupted in 2023, and that has become more important for children living in tents and displaced by the conflict.
"The movements we teach them are based on scientific principles that primarily help the child with psychological release, especially from the difficult situations we experienced during the years of war, in the three years," Saraj said.
"We have a significant role in activating the child and moving them from an atmosphere of depression and frustration to one of joy," he added.
Inside the school or outside, near the rubble, the children move at the rhythm of the music.
"I come to this center because I discovered that I have a talent for breakdancing, and I also come here to release the negative energy inside me and to enjoy," said Habiba Abu Khater, who joined the group because of her passion for breakdancing.
Dangerous living conditions persist in Gaza after more than two years of devastating Israeli bombardment and aid shortfalls.
While a fragile ceasefire has been in place since Oct. 10., almost daily Israeli fire continues and has killed more than 820 Palestinians.
Both sides, Hamas and Israel, accused each other of violating the ceasefire, attacking each other.
Most of the two million residents of Gaza have been displaced and live in tents or in damaged buildings.
The war between Hamas and Israel began with a 2023 Hamas-led attack on southern Israel, in which the militants killed 1,200 people, most of them civilians, and abducted 251.
More than 72,600 Palestinians have been killed since the start of the war, according to the Gaza Health Ministry.
The ministry, which is part of the Hamas-led government, maintains detailed casualty records that are seen as generally reliable by U.N. agencies and independent experts.
