We have seen them do parkour from half-ruined roofs. Time to see them working out in deserted, war-torn buildings, using only the weight of their body, thanks to a new video uploaded by AJ+.

Since sports is a long forgotten luxury in Gaza, the following Palestinians thought to hit one of the hardest gyms in the world: the crumbling, abandoned buildings of Gaza. Who said trx is a privilege only of the western world? With makeshift ropes and the weight of their body, they are here to prove that the destruction of Gaza in 2014 has not prevented them from living the life they used to live even before the disasters.

Bear in mind that after the Israeli offensive in Gaza two years ago, more than 100,000 buildings have disintegrated.
