Palestinian cyclists attend a cycling training in Rafah in the southern Gaza Strip. 0.1 SOUNDBITE (in Arabic) cyclist Alaa Al-Daly STORYLINE: A youth team of amputees trains to ride bicycles to prepare them for the Asian or European competitions 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 The Gaza athletes lost their limbs under different circumstances: some as a result of previous Israeli wars on the Strip, others due to accidents, and some as a result of an illness.
