Video of Gaza mass wedding brings joy amid city ruins

Palestinians gathered in the ruins of southern Gaza to celebrate the mass wedding of more than 50 couples on Tuesday, December 2, a rare moment of hope after two years of devastation, death and conflict.

Weddings are a key part of Palestinian culture but have become rare in Gaza during the war, and a tradition that some couples have been able to restart in the wake of a fragile ceasefire.

Couples walked hand-in-hand past the



crumbled buildings of southern Gaza in a line of other couples dressed in exactly the same way.
