Israel’s expansion of Gaza fishing zone fails to ease concerns

Israel is temporarily expanding the waters off Gaza that Palestinian fishermen are allowed to use. The zone will grow by about six kilometres for a two-month period.

But the fishermen say it will do little to improve their meagre incomes.

Israel’s blockade has caused a massive unemployment crisis in Gaza that has forced many to resort to fishing as a means to survive.
