In Gaza, Rajab Alreefi isn't just skating through life; he's trying to ollie over starvation. As the founder of the Gaza Skateboard Team and a dedicated dad, Rajab wants to 'raise awareness of the situation in Gaza through skateboarding.' But oh, I'm sorry, did I miss the part where hunger respects skate culture? Apparently not, because 'hunger is forcing him to stop.' Our journalist found Rajab using a solar-powered generator just to get online and shout out his message. So, let me get this straight: one guy, a skateboard, and some solar panels vs. a blockade of nothing? That's like trying to surf a tsunami with a plastic kiddie pool.
