Fishermen in Gaza are constructing makeshift dinghies from reclaimed fibreglass, wood, and doorframes salvaged from the ruins of Israeli airstrikes, as severe material shortages cripple the territory's fishing industry. The improvised vessels represent a broader struggle to maintain livelihoods in Gaza (the Palestinian coastal enclave under Israeli blockade and subject to ongoing military operations), where conventional boat-building supplies are largely unavailable. The effort signals both the resilience of local fishing communities and the depth of the humanitarian and economic crisis gripping the territory.
