AJ+ Report: Israel Bans Palestinians from the Sea — Gaza’s Coastline Turned Into a Weapon
July 21, 2025
While starvation hits harder, we’re not even allowed to fish.”
Palestinians in Gaza face a cruel chokehold — banned from fishing or even swimming in their own Mediterranean waters.
As hunger deepens, temperatures soar, and clean water runs scarce, the sea was a lifeline — a place to bathe, cool off, and find food.
But Israel’s assault hasn’t just destroyed homes; it’s killed fishermen and shattered their boats and nets. This blockade of life isn’t new — it’s decades of violence and oppression squeezing Gaza’s coastal communities.
When you cut off the sea, you cut off hope.
