VOICED : Despite truce Gaza fishermen under fire at sea

The video discusses the impact of the Israeli blockade on Gaza's fishermen, who are restricted to fishing within six nautical miles, leading to economic hardship. The blockade has reduced the number of fishermen from 10,000 to 3,500, with many relying on UN aid. Recent air strikes have worsened their situation. With a truce in place, fishermen hope negotiations in Cairo will expand their fishing zone and improve their conditions. The Oslo Accords originally allowed a 20 nautical mile fishing area, but this has been reduced over time. Rising fuel costs further challenge the fishermen's livelihoods.
