Palestinians staged Gaza's first swimming competition in over three years, according to Al Jazeera English, as the territory's federation worked to restore access to the Mediterranean shore. The event represented a resumption of organized athletic activity in the coastal enclave after an extended pause.
Swimmers returned to compete in waters they had been unable to use for competitive purposes since before the three-year gap began.
