Ashraf Al-Amritti, Al Jazeera, Jul 12, 2009 Going to the beach in the Gaza Strip is the only recreational area available for local inhabitants, but most of the beaches are severely polluted with sewage water. People in Gaza largely blame the problem on Israel's crippling two-year embargo of the Strip. But they continue to brave the poisoned stretch of coastline for some "fun in the sun".
