The rubble bucket challenge in Gaza

http://www.independent.co.uk/news/world/middle-east/rubble-bucket-challenge-launched-in-solidarity-with-people-in-gaza-whose-homes-have-been-destroyed-during-israel-conflict-9689809.html

In Mr Aoul's Rubble Bucket Challenge YouTube video, he tells viewers: “I liked the idea of the ice bucket challenge so I decided to invent the Palestinian version.”

Standing amid what appears to be the ruins of buildings destroyed during the war, he adds: “We looked for a bucket of water, however the use of water is more important than to empty over our heads. And even if the water is available it is difficult to freeze it.”
