Even fish not spared of Israeli onslaught on Gaza
When Iyad Al-Attar’s fish farm in the northern Gaza Strip’s town of Beit Lahiya was completely destroyed in Israeli airstrikes, his only source of income vanished in the blink of an eye.

“It is a disastrous calamity,” lamented the 46-year-old Palestinian.

For Al-Attar, the fish farm provided a lifeline for him and his family.

The farm and the areas in the vicinity were subjected to indiscriminate and fierce Israeli shelling, causing Al-Attar an estimated $35,000 material loss, including the loss of 5,000 kilograms of tilapia fish.
 

The level of destruction is very apparent when one steps into the farm. The fish are scattered everywhere and Al-Attar is hopelessly making efforts to save some of the surviving fish by moving them to another clean basin.

Meanwhile, one of his sons is working to remove dead fish and debris from inside the water tanks.

Al-Attar said he has no other means to support his family of 10 children, two of whom are married.

He said his son Deeb, who struggles with reproductive problems, was expecting to use the fish revenues at the end of May to cover for his medical treatment.
