 Gazans get on bikes in face of Israeli blockade 
 

Since Israel began its blockade of Gaza three years ago, new cars have not been allowed into the territory and spare parts are nearly impossible to get.

Many Gazans have turned to motorcycles smuggled in from Egypt as their new mode of transportation – a trend that has created a traffic crisis and led to deadly accidents.
