VOICED: Israeli blockade hurts Gaza fishermen

The video discusses the challenges faced by Palestinian fishermen in Gaza due to Israeli naval restrictions, which limit their fishing range to three miles offshore. This restriction is seen as a punitive measure linked to past conflicts. The blockade has severely impacted Gaza's fishing industry, reducing its economic value and making it difficult for fishermen to sustain their livelihoods. The high cost of fish and the economic decline in Gaza have made it hard for ordinary people to afford fish. A UN report highlighted these issues, but the situation has worsened, with many fishermen leaving the industry to find alternative ways to support their families.
