Palestinian youth in Shatila refugee camp, Beirut, Lebanon, discuss their dreams and hopes for the future — and international competition — in boxing, as they train at the Palestinian Youth Club.

Boxers and coaches express their wishes for the future — and call on the international sports community to exclude “Israel” from international competition, while supporting Palestinian sports development instead.

In 1982, the camp was the site of the infamous Sabra and Shatila massacre carried out by fascist Phalangists overseen by invading Zionist occupation soldiers, and today, is one of the most impoverished and marginalized Palestinian refugee camps in Lebanon.
