This fish farm in the Mediterranean Sea off Gaza has begun producing sea bream. It is one of a range of projects aimed at bolstering the local fishing industry and developing businesses in Gaza
The facility, established by the UN Food and Agriculture Organisation in partnership with Italy some four nautical miles offshore, is one of a range of projects aimed at bolstering the local fishing industry and developing businesses in Gaza.
Abdel-Naser Madhi, the head of the offshore fish farm project, said the new facilities help bring in vital funds for the fishing industry and create stronger export ties.Palestinian fishermen ride boats as they return with their catch at Gaza Seaport in Gaza City September 20, 2022.

In August, when Israel bombed targets linked to the Islamic Jihad movement in Gaza in a brief three-day campaign, exports were stopped for two weeks before being allowed to resume at just a fifth the normal level of 100 tonnes a month, an amount Palestinians said was insufficient.
