Youssef Jendiya, 21, is among several Palestinian footballers who took part in Gaza’s first organised football tournament in more than two years. Jendiya’s team, Jabalia Youth, took on Al-Sadaqa this week at the Palestine Pitch in Gaza City, while a second fixture featured Beit Hanoon versus Al-Shujayea. “Confused. Happy, sad, joyful, happy” is how Jendiya described feeling after getting back out onto the pitch. “People search for water in the morning: food, bread. Life is a little difficult. But there is a little left of the day, when you can come and play football and express some of the joy inside you,” he stated.
