There is no more smell of fish

From the World Food Programme, Press Release, Gaza Economy on the Brink of Collapse, 2 September 2006:

"The Gazan economy is collapsing and there is no trust for the future, no investment and no hope...There is now a one-month stock of food in densely populated Gaza which relies on external food shipments through border checkpoints which have been periodically closed by Israel. Infrastructure is also crippled while industries which have formed the backbone of the territory's economy, mainly farming and fishing are in sharp decline. There is no more grain in the four major silos of the four major mills, and even if we are providing food to some of the needy in Gaza, that is 15-16% of the population, the trade has completely collapsed. Since June no fishing is allowed at all and in fact you come to the fishing port and there is no smell of fish. This puts out of work about 35,000 people who were living from the fishing industry."
