## Resource

In a refugee camp in Ramallah in the West Bank, a group of Palestinian children train to master one of Ireland’s oldest sports – hurling. They play not just for fun but for something deeper: freedom. This is the story of GAA Palestine and what's become both an unlikely vehicle for humanitarian aid and a powerful tool of resistance.
