Gaza Fishermen Craft Makeshift Dinghies from Rubble-Salvaged Doorframes

In the Gaza Strip, fishermen are resorting to building small boats from materials salvaged from the destruction caused by the ongoing conflict. Using reclaimed fiberglass, wood, and doorframes recovered from rubble, they have created sturdy dinghies that allow them to continue their livelihood amidst severe shortages of equipment and resources. These improvised vessels reflect the resilience of Gaza's fishing community, who face restricted access to the sea and economic hardship. Despite the challenges, the fishermen persist, relying on their ingenuity to sustain their families.
