VOICED: Brand new car, 'Made in Gaza'

High school students in Gaza have ingeniously built a car using local materials due to import restrictions. Despite challenges, they aim to compete internationally by 2011, hoping for the blockade to lift, allowing easier work and participation in global engineering contests.

What is the main challenge faced by the students in building the car?

• Insufficient funding for the project

• Inability to import auto parts

• Lack of support from the community

• Lack of interest in auto mechanics

How did the students manage to gather the necessary parts for the car?

• They received donations from international organizations

• They manufactured them in a local factory

• They imported them from neighboring countries

• They sourced them from local repair shops and junkyards

What is the ultimate goal for the students' car project?

• To drive the car across the Gaza border

• To sell the car in the local market

• To participate in an international engineering competition

• To create a car manufacturing company in Gaza

In which year do the students hope to have their third car ready?

• 2012

• 2010

• 2013

• 2011

What do the students hope will happen before they participate in the competition?

• They will receive international sponsorship

• They will win a local engineering award

• The Israeli blockade will be lifted

• They will build a more advanced car
