GAZA CITY, Palestine Along Gaza City’s shoreline, dozens of Palestinians have found a companion and an outlet in the sea, turning to early morning swims to ease psychological strain and briefly escape the pressures of Israeli genocide. Gaza’s sea, long a witness to the devastation inflicted on the enclave, embraces each morning dozens of young men and elderly residents who persist in swimming despite the winter chill, seeking respite from life’s hardships, physical renewal and stronger immunity.
