Video: Reality of life for fishermen in Gaza – 6 miles of sea

6th June 2013 | International Solidarity Movement, Gal·la | Gaza, Occupied Palestine

Zakaria Baker, head of the committee for fishermen in Union of Agricultural Work Committees (UAWC) explains the reality for fishermen in Gaza, following Israel re-extending the permitted sailing area for Palestinians from three to six nautical miles. Despite this ‘allowance’, Palestinian fishermen have recently been attacked and their boats confiscated by the Israeli military when they were well inside the previously allowed three nautical miles.
