Gaza Sea's bounty for fishermen

Despite a complete blockade of the Gaza Sea and the shooting at its fishermen by Israeli vessels, fishermen continue to rely on primitive wooden boats to fish less than 500 meters from the coast, after their motorized boats were destroyed at the start of the war in late 2023. The monthly fish catch has decreased from 50 tons before the war to about 5 tons now, while fish prices have soared by up to three times, with the price of a kilogram of calamari reaching between 60 and 70 shekels. Previously, around 4,000 fishermen made a living from this profession, supporting about 50,000 people, but the war has led to the injury and death of hundreds of them. The risks now threaten their continued existence in a field where venturing more than 500 meters into the sea is difficult.
