Palestinian fishermen in Khan Younis, Gaza Strip, are facing challenges due to Israel’s restrictions on fishing zones and the blockade imposed on Gaza since 2007. The recent genocidal war on Gaza has further devastated the fishing sector, with boats destroyed and fishermen killed. The sea, once a vital source of income, has now become a dangerous place where fishermen risk their lives daily. The Gaza Fishermen’s Syndicate reports that at least 238 fishermen have been killed by Israel since October 2023. Despite the ceasefire, Israeli violations continue, with fishermen unable to venture far into the sea due to uncertainty and the constant presence of Israeli naval boats.
