I think the best way to see what's going on there is to watch the videos. Have you all seen the ones about Gaza's startup founders and developers? Here are a few:

Women founders + developers: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=7nAkx4n0yUU&feature=youtu.be

The crowdfunding campaign video: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=eEJtZekhROE

There are some personal interviews too on that channel, but my favorite is this bloopers video: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=_f_w1aoJgO8

Another video that shows Gaza on the ground (no relation to the geeks there) is Gangam Style Gaza. Love this! https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=eYMh09vPwdM
