This is a great video that tells another story of Gaza that isn't heard as much. I've been to this beach as the refugee camp, "Beach Camp" borders this area and is near Nuseirat. I had never seen it this crowded as we were there in December, but it's refreshing to see people out enjoying themselves and hearing what they think. I like seeing the little girls out there, some swathed in fabric even in the water because of the cultural norm of needing to cover up. My brother in Ramallah says that it's been hot lately, in the high 80's and with that dry heat, so it's only natural to want to cool off.
It's still shocking to see footage of Gaza after the recent bombings last year as I seem to remember those buildings in the beginning of the video were standing in 2000, when we were there. Lovely to see those shining faces of the Palestinians out there enjoying what they can within the difficult situation they are forced to deal with. It's a wonderful pleasure to watch this video........
