Palestinian fishermen and fish t

Palestinian fishermen and fish traders from the al-Mawasi area sell fish at the Jewish settled area of Gaza Strip in this picture taken May 18, 2005. Al-Mawasi was once a centre of relative prosperity in Gaza. That ended when Israeli forces, fighting a Palestinian uprising, cut off the community by extending a settlement security cordon around it to deny militants a beachhead for attacks. But after years of isolation from jobs, markets and relatives in the rest of Gaza, al-Mawasi`s 7,000 Palestinians see relief on the horizon with Israel`s planned withdrawal from the occupied territory in August.
