RESTRICTION SUMMARY: Deir Al-Balah- 21 September 2021. Palestinian fishermen work on the shore of the Mediterranean Sea, in Deir El-Balah, in the center of Gaza strip.

STORYLINE:

Israel's series of goodwill gestures to the Palestinians in the Gaza Strip Sept. 1 include the expansion of the fishing area, an increase in the amount of water sold to Gaza and an increase of work permits as well as the entry of more goods and equipment into the besieged enclave through the Kerem Shalom border crossing.

Fishing is a major source of revenue for the impoverished Palestinian enclave. Israel, which maintains a blockade on Gaza strip, has over the years placed limits on how far Gazan fishermen can go to fish, as a way of pressuring the militant group.

The 1993 Oslo Accord required Israel to allow an offshore fishing range of 20 nautical miles. Israel has reduced the size of the zone since Hamas took over Gaza in 2007 in what rights groups say is a form of collective punishment that harms the civilian population.
