VOICED: Drug makes dangerous inroads in Gaza

The video discusses the lack of public entertainment in Gaza since Hamas took power in 2007, leading to increased use of the pain relief drug Tramadol among youth. The drug, which is easier to obtain than others, has become popular among university students, leading to dependency issues. The harsh living conditions in Gaza, including unemployment and poverty, contribute to the stress and hopelessness that drive drug abuse. Tramadol is trafficked into Gaza through tunnels from Egypt, a network that even Hamas struggles to control.
