The Gaza Sunbirds are a team of paracyclists from Gaza, set up in 2020 by cyclist Alaa al-Dali after he was shot in the leg by an Israeli sniper during the Great March of Return in 2018. The Sunbirds’ journey has taken them from the war-ravaged Palestinian territory to Belgium, Italy and Kazakhstan in pursuit of their dream: to represent Palestine at the 2024 Paralympics in Paris.
The Gaza war has resulted in thousands of amputations, including those carried out on an estimated 1,000-plus children, all of whom have immediate and life-long needs.
