GAZA CITY, Gaza Strip — Around 30 amateur and professional divers in the Gaza Strip are searching off Gaza's shores for Egyptian sailors who went missing Feb. 17 off Egypt's Port Said during the rainstorm that hit the area Feb. 16 and went on for days.
The mission began Feb. 26 from the shores of al-Zahra city and reaching 25 kilometers (15 miles) south to Rafah. The Palestinian divers are searching the sea, bearing Egyptian flags in solidarity.
