I wanted to ask if you felt in any danger at any time. Either in Gaza on onroute through the checkpoints? What are the ambitions of the participants? Do they want to work / set up companies in Gaza or work abroad?

I never felt in danger. But I'm also brown and everyone there told me I look Arab.

It's a mix - I couldn't tell you the proportions off the top of my head. There are hard emigration realities that force Gazans to do the former.
