Pools have been constructed along the Gazan coast with boulders and sand bags forming mini-lido-like structures. So far five pools have been completed by Amjed Tantesh and his helpers. Amjed's life ambition is to teach as many children in Gaza to swim as possible. The money is needed to pay the teachers, the support staff and for Amjed's helpers who are setting up and maintaining the pools. So far 5,800 children have been taught to swim, 4,000 of whom were sponsored by @SwimWithGaza. Amjed plans to teach another 2,500 children to swim up until November.

Support the PSC e-action: Write to the Foreign Secretary to demand the release of Dr Abu Safiya. The PSC letter also refers to the 9,000+ Palestinians who are currently imprisoned by Israel in the most horrific conditions imaginable and subjected to beatings, torture, rotten food and unsanitary environments. "The British government must take urgent action to hold Israel accountable for these crimes by implementing comprehensive sanctions now."
