Fisherman videos - Gaza

Dear all,

These are some footage comrades George from Greece, Andrew from Scotland and I took of the shootings yesterday and today of the fishermen's boats. One of the fishermen, Alaa el Habil, from the Shati' camp, was wounded in the leg before yesterday, and a boat arrived to the port of Gaza yesterday as we were there, of which was targeted by the Israelis...

The fishermen were given a limit of 20miles before the Oslo accprds, then it diminshed to 12, then 6 miles during the siege, then 3 miles now... it is impossible to catch good fish, a variety, and a good quantity within such a limit.This is especially devastating for the fishermen whose lives depend on fishing... whose families cannot survive without an income from this.

PS: mistake as to the date of one of the videos as it says 2008 rather than 2009...
