Once upon a time, the fisherman Khalead Habib Habib uses a temporary paddle to drive himself through the water of the fishing port of Gaza City.
More than 3 months of Israeli’s Israeli bomb blast destroyed most of the boats in Harbor and spoiled the life of fishermen’s life.
“We are in a very difficult situation today and are struggling with fishing. Fishing boats are not balanced. They are all destroyed and thrown to the ground, “said Habib.
“I made this boat from the refrigerator doors and cork, and gratefully worked it.”
To continue feeding your family, Habib brought the idea of filling the cork in the old fridge door and made them enjoyable. He covered one side with wood and on the other with a plastic sheet, and made to two to two waterboard waterproof.
Habib also created a fishing cage outside the wire due to lack of mesh, but acknowledges that the resulting was “small”.
The United Nations Food and Agriculture Organization (FAO) had said in December that the conflict had taken Gaza’s “on the way to collapse in a prosperous fishing.”
The FAO said, “Gaza’s daily catch between October 123 and April 1 Between fell to only at 3.3 percent of the level and thus lost $ 1.5.5 million,” FAO said.
Using flour as a bait, Habib now mainly takes fish inside the small port area.
2 January despite the delicate warships implemented on January and it stopped the battle, Habib said that fishing outside the port was not allowed. They said, “If we (outside the fishermen’s harbor) go to the Israeli boats, the Israeli boats will fire on us,” he said.
