VOICED: Blockaded Gazans look to the stars

In the Gaza Strip, a new telescope offers residents a chance to explore the stars, providing a sense of freedom amidst the blockade. Solomon Baraka, a Palestinian astrophysicist, returned to Gaza to inspire children with astronomy after his son's death. Despite the destruction of educational facilities, efforts are underway to establish an astrophysics research center. The French Cultural Center supports this initiative, although challenges like poor visibility remain. The project symbolizes hope and educational advancement for Gaza's future.
