In a makeshift tent in Gaza, the lyrics of Lebanese icon Fairouz’s song "We Are Coming Back! Oh Love" take on new meaning as children sing them with defiant hope. Amid ongoing conflict, music teachers in Gaza are transforming tents into classrooms, using melodies to heal young hearts and keep resilience alive. 🎵
CGTN’s 2024 footage from Khan Younis revealed a student who lost a hand but never gave up playing—a symbol of unbroken spirit. A year later, these sessions continue in Gaza City, blending music therapy with lessons that teach courage through creativity. 🎹
"Music is our resistance," one teacher shared. For kids facing unimaginable challenges, these classes are more than escape—they’re a soundtrack of survival. 🕊️
