STORYLINE
The Super League wheelchair basketball matches are back after a year and a half break due to the Coronavirus.
Almost 50,000 Palestinians are classified as "disabled" among the 2-million population of the blockaded Gaza Strip.
The number is increasing with more people injured and disabled as a result of Israel's frequent military attacks on the coastal enclave.
