Gazan ‘Ali Baba’ brings cheer to children
STORY: ‘Ali Baba’ is bringing stories and smiles to Gazan children
Location: Rafah, Gaza
[Mohammad al-Amoudi, Storyteller]
"I, as a storyteller, tell stories so that children can live within it, in a free and a safe atmosphere, enabling them to express themselves and just listen to nice stories. Also, as you know, the (Gaza) strip is experiencing difficult conditions. So, the stories are a balm for their souls."

"At first I was surprised, I used to watch Ali Baba in cartoons, so when I saw this storyteller, I said Ali Baba has come to life and I talked to him, and he told me a story and I interacted with him. We were all happy that Ali Baba visited us."
