alone welcome again to remind i'm elizabeth purana since we launched al-jazeera english over a decade ago we haven't been afraid of tackling difficult and sensitive stories through a powerful award winning documentary yes today we rewinding to 2010 and a film that examines an unintended consequence of the continuing israeli blockade of gaza is growing opioid problem the gaza strip at points just 10 kilometers wide is a now a piece of land along the eastern mediterranean coast it's palestinian population a sealed behind a separation barrier and tightly controlled checkpoints gaza is home to more than 1500000 palestinians maybe half of them under 15 unemployment is among the highest in the world and every day is

a struggle to survive. it's not surprising therefore the thousands of young people risk their lives by protesting against the occupation by israel at the border fence but as discovered when she traveled to gaza for al-jazeera back in 2010 more and more of them turning to drugs to escape from the harsh realities of life his anus disturbing film on comfortably not. over yet. this is gaza's lifeline the tunnels on the border with egypt. they punch through the blockade that cuts gaza off from the outside world. mostly. for. the search. for. the very.

least. the money far away from israel. around the clock to smuggle in vital supplies from deep within the earth. this tunnel is 18 meters below ground and it's really quite warm in here even though it's in the middle of winter there are 8 guys. who are working as we speak and they're bringing in all sorts of merchandise it's one of thousands of other tunnels that become key supply routes for gaza. shipments of furniture clothes and food a steady supply of the dangerous drug is coming in from a dog or trauma as it's known in gaza. it's a painkiller constituency to morphine used to relief physical pain and it's one

that many call. resorting to. tramadol is illegal without a prescription but as. a self-confessed long term drug user explains there's always a way to get a hold of it. i buy fake prescriptions here's a doctor's prescription it says try to strips 20 pills and 20 pills for another painkiller also for $5.00 if i don't get this prescription there are other ways to get the pills dealers bring in boxes of trim out through the tunnels every day there are thousands of boxes seized by the police but for every 1000 seized there is another 1000 that gets in so i go to people i know who can find it for me it's a bit more expensive than the pharmacy but i buy from them. tramadol is dangerously addictive if taken in large quantities unsupervised.

29 year old come in as among a growing number of gazans hooked on it his name and face are hidden because he does not want the police to identify him i want help with i want to have him the 1st time i took trauma was a 200 milligram pill a red one. we were invited to a relative's wedding and. when i take it i feel completely relaxed i forget about all my feelings and emotions. well. i feel total release when i take one or 2 pills the higher the dosage the better i feel the more relaxed well in missouri is that the. camel struggle with addiction has brought him here to gaza skum unity mental health program it's one of the few places for drug addicts to get treatment every week he meets with his psychologist dr samir is

a quote for whom come else case is far from unique more women would many in. most of the attics are between the ages of 18 and 30 center. the incentive. of all my cases are in that age bracket and herein lies the danger the danger is that those who are supposed to build our future are the most affected. young can and dublin was damaged. and if the number of cases i've seen are 150 there are hundreds of others that i have not seen and who would never seek the help of a doctor why because we live in a traditional society that fears the stigma attached to mental illness and addiction is not just considered to be a mental health issue it's seen as even more serious. bottom in a lot of enough the. united nations april 2009 survey found that 8 percent of gazans questioned were doing more drugs than before

the war. for kemel the pills offer an escape from the reality surrounding him. since the war we have been in a miserable situation. no drops hamas and fatah fighting no reconciliation nothing to get a laugh a solid hell of a high we were promised that things would open up and more jobs would become available for me and others they are that we want the world to be open we don't want the siege on the national. and dr is a good believes the problem is growing huge at hal at at that data i've had about as the number of addicts went up after the war in gaza because that was unprecedented. marceau if you have. the occupation employer reform discriminant indiscriminate killing off leaving the palestinians here feeling

insecure and at risk wherever they are. it's not just the. israel suffocating siege has cut gazans off from the outside world and made hundreds of thousands of them jobless. gazans are becoming poorer by the day and. 8 out of 10 i know dependent on some form a few and handouts and as the blockade continues to bite the repetitive daily grind becomes more difficult to bear. these recent university graduates spend much of their free time at this upscale restaurant one of the few refuges they have. the war has deeply affected us our spirit is destroyed we have

not left since the war nor had a break and we're still carrying it all inside us they say illegal substances are finding their way into all social circles and across age brackets in gaza for years living with. my 15 year old brother brought some pills home from school he thought there were diet pills i took them to my father who is a doctor my father said the pills were true he granted my brother and we went to school and cause a fuss about it it turned out that there was a kid at the school who was distributing them some of the students thought these pills were to whiten your teeth even the kid who was distributing the trauma said he didn't know what it was he was just selling it and it seems there is no shortage of buyers. when i would get work or take my daily wage by trauma. for example i wouldn't buy fruit. even though i should've i used to prioritize trammell over fruit. and one time my wife and i spent 3

days with nothing but a tomato that will look at about one and have at it a scary i worked for the government for 7 years they still help me a little my pension is $200.00 a month which helps. on fridays i go to any mosque and explain my situation to the mom the mom tells people that there is a brother in need and then i live with an amount ranging from $40.00 to $100.00 given the day before yesterday i had no money and i asked my mother for $5.00. 20 pills but needed to make sure i had a steady supply. us. as drug dealers stubbornly pursue new markets. the hamas run felice continues to battle them for control of the streets of gaza.

the hamas government is widely credited for clamping down on criminals. ending years of knowledge on the streets of gaza. but then it would be a democrat the easier than usual underfed just ruled there was an excess of democracy. and drugs were prohibited but when on the ground. so. and there they asked the dealers to stop but the dealers were addicted to the money so they were all shot dead at their doorsteps. than had. they were big merchants people were coming in and out it was like a supermarket. market. despite its crackdown.

now they've been tipped off and on the way. they say this young man is dealing drugs with his brother he's taking them to his house where they plan to search for narcotics. and this is all they find this time around roughly a gram of hash which will result in a charge of possession rather than distribution. but it's clear that such tactics can pay dividends the police showed us some of the

drugs they have seized on previous raids. pills of ecstasy. and upon tramadol. unfortunately there is a big difference between the number of arrests in 2009 compared to 2008 drug cases have gone up in the last year in 2009 we had close to 1200 m. 4 cases of which 500 the new. 91 what tramadol relate my ocado been. we seized close to 2 and a half 1000000 trauma pills compared 255-0000 in 2000 and. 10 says gaza stunnel the key conduit for illegal substances into the strict. set of. the drugs are mostly supplied by israel and

directly via egypt and the tunnels some drugs also come directly from egypt the profits to young people who want to get rich quick. we have called dealers between the ages range from $20.00 to $23.00 with huge quantities of drugs and they are considered among the biggest dealers in gaza. this radius are the main source of drugs to gaza and their aim as our evidence from official cases shows is to flood gaza with drugs. we had some of the growing problem has prompted the police to push for stiffer sentences but there's only so much that a government can do. some things will slip through the net in this shadowy underworld where thousands of gazans risk their lives every day to earn a living. these young men told us they regularly work overnight sometimes sustained

by the illegal pills they help transport. him up the tab key for the left. so. from that then. there are. many. things that harbor had to. come out of if you show him 100. 1 thought and they should definitely go down the list on the whole harbor from the north for the corn for the british to another mother of her lesser for the. city. but for those who do get caught this is the law that awaits them. this is gaza central jail and this is the section where they're holding prisoners

on what charges and both users and dealers here is 120 of them in 3 different cells . some of the men have been charged and convicted others are still waiting court proceedings. were given him in the. shelter i was put in prison 2 months ago. i was playing the role of the middleman between a trader and a buyer. and i also take drugs. but after that i have been taking drugs for a long time since $99.00 to. started taking drugs when i went to tel aviv and israel. so i know that is going to share this experience is humiliating as you can see 35 people sleeping in the same room is not healthy and more learned that. the police say their prisons are part of an imperfect yet

effective strategy to clamp down on trafficking going to me for me to free them any more than. we stop 80 percent of the drugs before they entered the gaza strip then we start an investigation depending on the information we get the confessions we get from people or dealers lead us to the major dealers who try to get the drugs from an awful. lot you know. but some question the methods used to extract information. as a habitual drug user claims he's experienced these methods firsthand on more than one occasion. they just beat you up they tie you up like this they raise you up on a chair. and hide you from a chain for a day or 2. with the blindfold you so you won't recognize the person

beating you and then go after them in the streets. but when they let me down of the chair i couldn't feel my arms i swear i could not feel them. the ministry of interior denies physical violence is being used against drug offenders but it's allegations tapped into a longstanding taboo in palestinian society. and in law. there are links between drug addiction and spying if you are an addict you're on the side of the occupation and as long as you're with the occupation then you are against palestinian society you're a suspect in fact i used to link addiction with collaboration addicts get no sympathy. when the new government came to power they followed the same path and. that's why when an addict falls in the hands of the police you find that the most junior to the most senior in the police hierarchy will beat him as

a form of revenge. the doctor says this suspicion is fueling a police behavior that's aggravating and already serious problem. and to say psychologically torture will only increase the person's addiction so you're making matters more complicated by beating him. if the addict does not feel that society sees him as a human being and he or she will become more depressed than of us so we away then of out of the. way then of out of my fear is difficult trauma siege and on top of that torture from your own people from the people you expect to be on your side that only increases the trauma and if the addict takes 2 pills of trauma how he was she'll start to take for it off what about those that lead him off. the oahu with the seeds that continues to tighten its grip on

people some have resigned themselves to accepting the reality that it's gaza today . and they did the planning had it i would like to be able to stop taking drugs because i'm tired i'm depleted from the inside. i'm talking to you and all my internal organs are in god's mercy sometimes i feel that my wife will try to wake me up but i won't wake up that they can and that i will be gone and meet god almighty with their deep in the hole. ready ready ready ready ready ready come out continues to see his doctor on a weekly basis ready he has not given up on his hope for a better future ready ready. the 1st thing i wish for is a job. the 2nd dream i have is to settle on a house of my own. well how do you. know that i could have

a nice home to live in 'd and to live the trauma pills behind. me. 'd and comfortably numb from 2010 now that was the situation a decade or so ago and conditions in gaza have if anything got worse since the palestinians began their find a protests at the border fence a recent report by the un human rights council logged 189 killed and more than 6000 engine 2018 alone it wouldn't be a surprise then if the opioid problem had to tear rated along with the political and humanitarian situation rewind returned recently to gaza to find out. gaza's drug problem hasn't gone away in the last 10 years if anything the recent upsurge in violence at the border has made the painkiller problem once.

idea that the protesters have dispersed in new restrictions but they're all seem to be converging on the area where we are now which is the area of course why by and this of course where this large march is mass rally on sunday began i would just say the hope of hundreds of place move in the streets behind me and they were pushing those protesters back so the protests that were the rally i should say i has marched from course i biked essential and back again it was in the around admiralty which is around the government headquarters around a shopping mall copacetic place which is where the police fired multiple rounds of tear gas on the protesters who were gathered outside in a standoff between the police and the protesters they're also trying bricks but we saw multiple rounds of tear gas being fired i should say there's also a large machover on kalin side and that's an area cool shanshu and we've had reports that a police taxi driver has been beaten by the protesters and the accusation was driven in to those protests is injuring some but that's just

a report so far but on sunday there are a number of rallies and this is all in the face of the opposition of the anti mosque which carry lamb and acted on friday under these emergency rule is a public holiday tomorrow sara given the strength of feeling could we see a repeat of all of this again on monday. potentially so how tomorrow not on monday not their rallies at prince edward train station oh this is where there's been a number of confrontations between police and protesters so we expect more tomorrow night so that it will be the 3rd with the 3rd day sunday the 3rd day of civil unrest we've seen in the wake of these the anti mosque rules being introduced but in front of me there just like a fire in front of me and as i said before we've got thousands of these protesters who are now rallying and heading towards back towards caused by that. you mentioned the streets behind the police moving in as was the water cannon so these methods a recurring theme being used by this place to try to disperse the thousands of

people who are gathering in the central part of the very busy parts of hong kong on these weekends and after the shutdown on friday is that the city's mass rapid transport system up and running again. now we've got more than 40 of the translations which is shut down of course yesterday on saturday the m.t.a. system was shut down every single station was closed and that's the 1st time in the history to die on sunday we have about 40 so we're seeing massive lines of all these bus stops massive lines at the ferry stations simply because the city's power is pretty much in a lockdown and we still have a large number of shopping centers and shopping malls that have closed supermarkets that have closed and so you could potentially most of the city or parts of this the busy area is a certainly in lockdown at the moment with these protesters still converging on course i expect busy times ahead and potentially more confrontations with police so we'll check in with you again in the next hour or so i was there a sarah clock live in hong kong ceremony thanks tunisians are voting in their 2nd

parliamentary election since the revolution 8 years ago sunday's vote is seen as a test of the established parties who are accused by many of failing to souls the country's economic crisis a number of newly formed political groups chasing votes to outsiders won most foods in the presidential election last month let's go live now to choose to this how serious. is the how enthusiastic we have people voting today. well so far the voter turnout is very low by the stand even of the presidents of elections the 1st round of the presidential election which took place about 3 weeks ago i mean we're expecting 7000000 citizens to cast their votes today but in this polling station where i stand now i've seen dozens of people over the last 3 hours casting their votes and it was quite obvious from the last few days that there is

a growing number of people disillusioned with the political process with the political elite in tunisia they say that 80 years after the revolution nothing has changed unemployment is still on the rise inflation is still on the rise the government is unable to rein in a budget deficit is still relies on aid from the international community or loans from the international monetary fund and that the 9 consecutive governments that took over have betrayed the hopes and the dreams of the tunisians for today is in this no longer debate about democracy they know that the era of when i would have been alys over they have a new a new a vibrant parliament that can shape the political agenda more powerful than the president the all. those assets are meant tain but this thing that we need a government that knows more about economics a government there needs to find a job opportunities for millions of to his ears and improve their living standards

adrian we are in a country that doesn't have really much of natural resources and the challenge will continue to be this you have to find more revenues and and so the demands of the people but of the same time you have the international community and the international monetary fund telling you you need to balance the budget and this is going to be the delicate task facing the new parliament in tunisia. many thanks indeed tashan hope of their lives in tunis here's a closer look at what's at stake in this election it's the 2nd parliamentary vote. since the 2011 revolution and follows last month's presidential vote which saw 2 ides outsiders make gains the main concern among most units ians is as you're hearing the economy inflation is at nearly 7 percent unemployment above 15 percent the national debt to g.d.p. ratio is above 70 percent and the i.m.f. says in order to bring the debt down the government needs to slash spending but to

missy and say they're on happy with what's already been caught. no really i'm allowed milady is a professor at qatar university and the tunisian analyst he joins me now in the studio could have you with us to what extent will voters be looking those who choose to exercise their democratic right will they be looking to punish the established political parties in this election for the invite yes certainly i mean the there is out of the election the presidential elections the 1st round just of out of the fact that. people are kind of. done with the political elites meaning the political is who ruled after the revolution and here we are talking about the main political parties and are now are including other small parties i think people like you report it's interesting enough that people know what is a political transition but also they know that they want a government that delivers what they wanted there has been establishment of great

democratic institutions like for example in india has got now one of the excellent constitutions in the arab world today is also has got. which is an organization like of calm in the u.k. for instance which controls the or the visual. institutes the media situations also to museums got this fantastic institution which runs the elections now so the election campaigns and everything is basically monitored by this organization which is has no interference from the interior ministry for example or the executive other shit is it is have established this institution and now they want delivery of jobs health care and economy and so forth all of which is entirely understandable are they being too impatient though it's only only 8 years since the revolution jersey has problems mirror that of countries across the region the not that easy to solve and quickly other i mean certainly. political analysts will take you will

tell you these will take decades in a way to come to fruition. especially when you think about the museum as a country run by dictatorship for since 1906 in a way so therefore that there has to be a patient process whereby there is a government or 2 who basically take. enough space of a decade or 2 in order for them to deliver something tangible for a country like uneasy but unfortunately i mean like the case in other countries around when we think about iraq and what's happening now days and this new kind of evolved word today as of today i mean the media about 100 people have died young people those who are different this some franchise new grad years who are in tens of thousands 7 in tunisia they are looking for jobs poor people they're looking for new opportunities also they see that the new all driven people who have a lot of money they control the economy they control education and lots of stuff

they are back and they are actually becoming very influential so the gap is actually increasing while we are living in age after the revolution people would like to see for example. and many others who is in prison now and many others they'd like to see them not to sell a pin a life but the being accountable to the tunisian to that innocent people again perfectly understandable so will this election actually change anything will it will it make people's lives better or will it improve the country's politics i mean this election is. basically are part of the empowerment of the people in general i don't think necessarily that will solve the problem i think so even the problem should be part of giving a new mandate to those who are in power now in my opinion because they have experience and they are building experience and they know how to tackle things because they have built democratic institutions the economy is very challenging issue in the 3rd world countries certain certain especially when it comes with strings.
