Another Take: In Gaza, berries under blockade

Introducing 'Another Take' – joining you now every Saturday and Sunday, revisiting stories we’ve done that are in the news again. Today’s Another Take is from Gaza, but it’s a side we rarely see. 

This episode was originally published on February 14, 2020.

When the so-called deal of the century normalized relations between Israel and Bahrain and the UAE – in Gaza, all that felt a world away. But back in 2020, there was a moment of relief – an understanding between Israel and Hamas, the group that's run Gaza since 2007 – that gave Gazans a bit of relief. And the signs were in the strawberries. Today, we’re revisiting a story from Gaza that doesn’t usually make headlines.
