The article refers in particular to the two week fishing ban imposed on Palestinian fishermen during the disengagement from Gaza. The ban occurred during the Sardine season. Fishing being seasonal, this means a considerable loss of income and food for the 35,000 people in Gaza who rely on the fishing industry.
