Gaza fishermen stay afloat with dinghies made from doorframesdoorframes
Fishermen in Gaza are using dinghies built from reclaimed fiberglass, wood and doorframes salvaged from rubble after Israeli airstrikes. The makeshift boats are part of an effort to keep the territory’s fishing industry working despite shortages of materials and damaged infrastructure, underscoring the wider economic strain of the war.
- Gaza’s Mediterranean coastline is short, but fishing has been a traditional livelihood for generations.
- Fiberglass boats are common in small coastal fisheries because they are lighter and easier to maintain than many wooden vessels.
- Reusing rubble for repairs is a survival strategy seen in other war-damaged coastal communities.
