Since the start of Israel’s inhumane blockade, which began even before 2007, fishing has been a vital source of livelihood for Palestinians in the Gaza Strip.
Now, as Israel perpetrates its genocide, it has driven over two million people to the shores of the enclave, but denying them the ability to fish.
Israeli boats have killed dozens of Palestinians attempting to sail amidst the severe food scarcity, using starvation as a deliberate tactic.
Israel has destroyed its once vibrant fishing sector. Israeli mass bombardment since 7 October, 2023 has killed 170 fishermen – seven of them were shot and killed this week – while the Gaza port and all the boats destroyed with losses pegged at $150 million.
