    The death of a little boy after swimming in polluted seawater has put the spotlight on Gazaโ€™s pollution crisis and the human impact of desperate electricity shortages in the Palestinian enclave.

    Mohammed al-Sayis, five, died late last month a few days after swimming in the sewage-polluted waters, with his brothers also hospitalised, his family and health ministry said.

    Dozens of others have been treated after swimming along the stripโ€™s filthy Mediterranean coastline in the past two months, a ministry spokesman in Gaza said.
