Israel Bans Palestinians From Gaza Sea, Cutting Off Yet Another Food Source
Briefly

On July 12, 2025, the Israeli military announced a full maritime blockade on Gaza, prohibiting all access to the sea. This decision exacerbates the dire humanitarian crisis, with strict warnings given to fishermen and swimmers against entering the water. The situation in Gaza is grim, marked by starvation and famine. Previous attacks, such as the bombing of Al-Baqa Café, illustrate the perils of attempting to access normalcy. This blockade targets Palestinian fishing infrastructure, endangering food sources and livelihoods amid ongoing conflict.
The Israeli military has imposed a full blockade on Gaza's sea, preventing fishers, swimmers, and all other Palestinians from entering the last remaining source of relief from this genocide.
The IDF will respond to any violation of these restrictions, urging fishermen, swimmers, and divers to refrain from entering the sea.
Israel had already attacked people trying to steal moments of normalcy, such as the bombing of the Al-Baqa Café, which killed over 30 people.
This latest restriction is a deliberate attack on Palestinian fishing infrastructure and local food sources, effectively prohibiting people from fishing to feed themselves.
