STORYLINE:

Israel severely restrains Palestinian fishermen’s access to the sea and regularly fires on fishing crews, damaging and confiscating their boats, and often detaining the fishermen as well.

But crab season offers a respite – and rare period of profit – to Gaza’s beleaguered fishing families.

A sharp increase in poverty since the siege was imposed means that fewer families can afford to put fish on the dinner table – half of Gaza’s population of 2 million is moderately to severely food insecure.

Being a fisherman in Gaza means to practice one of the world’s most dangerous professions.
