 Israeli blockade brings Gaza trade to standstill 
 

Once wealthy business owners, the Shamaly family of Gaza now farms smuggled livestock to survive a crippling Israeli blockade on the Gaza Strip.

The Palestinian family says it has no other options for work, since the two-year-old blockade put an end to its bustling construction business.

But as Al Jazeera’s Sherine Tadros reports, the blockade is also affecting Israelis who once relied on Gaza for trade.
