Palestinians take part in the cleaning of the beach along the shore of the Mediterranean Sea during the EU Beach clean up campaign, in Gaza city, on September 14, 2022. Every year in September, the EU organises an ocean-activism and awareness-raising campaign - leanup - featuring events across the world. Preparing for the UN conference on biological diversity, this year’s campaign is dedicated to protecting and celebrating the rich life of the ocean. Photo by Ashraf Amra\ apaimages
