Here and Now #3

Children of African migrants living in Israel, playing in the Mediterranean Sea, Tel Aviv.

 

About 60,000 African asylum seekers have entered Israel since 2005, most of them from the Darfur region of Sudan, and Eritrea. Many of them live in poor neighborhoods in southern Tel Aviv, facing the danger of being deported.

 

It was pure Zen watching these boys playing in the water, with tens of thousands of Israelis on the beach, celebrating Israel's 69th Independence Day.
