The Gaza Strip has been living under a hermetic Israeli siege since 2006.
This has resulted in numerous hardships including a lack of well-equipped medical facilities and even life-saving medicine.
Most of Gaza’s population has never been allowed to leave the besieged and impoverished Strip, not even to the better-equipped hospitals in the West Bank.
But the Gaza Sea continues to serve as an outlet, bringing joy to many communities that continue to reel under the impact of the Israeli blockade and many deadly wars.
