The Gaza Pullout: Caught in a Trap

"We are in a prison now but we may end up just being in a bigger prison" - Donald Macintyre's article, published in the Independent on August 11, 2005, describes the life of fishermen in Al Mawasi, a strip of land wedged between the sea and former Jewish settlements in southern Gaza. Written a week before Israel's disengagement from Gaza, the article raises interesting questions so as to the future of fishermen, not only in terms of rehabilitation of infrastrutures/boats/nets/etc. but also in terms of possibilities to market their catch - if any.
