Israel devastates Gaza's fishing industry
The article points out that the fishing sector in Gaza has been almost entirely destroyed as a result of the ongoing Israeli war and blockade, with damage to equipment and infrastructure exceeding 95%. The occupation has repeatedly targeted fishermen using warships, leading to the deaths of more than 234 fishermen and injuring around 160 others, in addition to the detention of 150 individuals. Over 2,000 boats and fishing equipment have been destroyed, along with more than 350 storage facilities and vital infrastructure. This has caused the monthly fish production to drop from 15-20 tons before the war to currently 10-15 tons, further worsening the fishermen’s struggle to secure their livelihoods. Additionally, ongoing Israeli measures, such as restricting the entry of fishing supplies, have prevented the sector from recovering, threatening the livelihood of Gaza’s families and the food security of the population.
