Since the end of the last Zionist massacre against Gaza there have been more than 1300 reported attacks against the fishermen.

Since
then, 22 boats have been stolen; 26 fishermen have been injured; one
fisherman, Tawfiq Abu Riela, has been assassinated; 28 boats have been
disabled by bullet fire; 2 big fishing boats have been sunken by rocket
fire, one in Deir El Balah at 300m from the coast and one in Gaza City
at 5 miles; 51 fishermen have been kidnapped while working and 3
fishermen remain prisoners until now.

Those facts, among other
practices of the occupation forces, have caused the quantity of fish
caught to decrease from 1600 tons the year before the massacre to 1000
tons the year after. At the same time the number of fishermen who work
in the Gaza Strip has decreased from 3000 to 1000 and the fishermen who
keep working have seen how their monthly income decreased from 2000 ILS
to the actual 100 ILS.
