Fishermen gather around the back of a Palestinian

Fishermen gather around the back of a Palestinian fishing boat in the Gaza City wharf while they patch holes in their fishing nets after returning from a 24 hour shift at sea. Two million Palestinians out of the 3.6 million in the occupied territories live on less than 2.1 dollars a day, while 42 percent of Palestinian families survive only thanks to humanitarian aid, the director of a UN agency said.(AFP/File/Roberto Schmidt)
