Scientists from Brazil and the United States have discovered a huge coral reef in the Amazon river that stretches for more than 600 miles -- a surprising finding due to the fact that such marine structures thrive only in salty ocean and sea waters with access to sunlight.

Google βsportβ and βPalestineβ and what does the search engine return? Football, football and more football.
Soccer seems to be the only kind of sport associated with Palestine β and the fever that grips the West Bank and Gaza during national games or matches between popular international clubs like Barcelona and Real Madrid bears this out.
