Palestinians gathered on Gaza’s beaches to escape the intense summer heat, seeking relief from overcrowded tents and the destruction surrounding them. For many, the beach has become one of the few places offering a brief respite. Residents described a rare sense of calm, with no recent strikes in the area, allowing children to swim and families to spend time together. But the scenes come against the backdrop of more than two years of war, with much of Gaza left in ruins and thousands of displaced people living in makeshift tents along the coast. Residents say their needs are simple: to live, rebuild and see peace return. #Gaza #Palestine #GazaWar #Palestinians #GazaCity #MiddleEast #WorldNews #HumanitarianCrisis #News
