JABALIA, Gaza Strip (AP) – Gaza’s main soccer stadium was destroyed during the Israel-Hamas war and is now a tent camp for displaced families.<\/p>\n

But in Jabalia’s camp, the Palestinian Football Federation has carved out a new space for the match. They removed debris, laid down worn artificial turf and erected a fence next to the remains of the destroyed building.<\/p>\n

On Wednesday, Palestinian amputees trained on an improvised field, and on Saturday two local teams played a match on the same field.<\/p>\n

Despite widespread destruction from the war and a fragile cease-fire, many people here are regaining pieces of daily life, including soccer.<\/p>\n
