Gaza

Ross travels to the Gaza strip, seen by many as the front line between Islam and the West. During the course of his time in Gaza, Ross sees all sides of Gazan life – from the military wing of Islamic Jihad who continue to fire rockets indiscriminately into Israel, to the ordinary Palestinians whose homes have been systematically destroyed by Israel in retaliation.
