"When you live in Gaza you are under siege from all directions so for us it is a symbol of freedom." Al-Dali expresses how cycling and the Gaza Sunbirds represent a quest for freedom amid constant hardship.
"We had five classes a week and it was about owning your own narrative and regaining mobility through cycling." The focus on cycling allows team members to reclaim their stories and empowerment even in dire circumstances.
"The idea for it came from meeting people who had amputated legs in Gaza. It was born out of the idea to represent Palestine and be like a free bird." Al-Dali highlights how adversity drives community and symbolic representation for Palestinians.
