ركوب الامواج
غزة - معا - محمد حجاج - أقام الاتحاد الفلسطيني للشراع في المحافظات الجنوبية مساء السبت فعاليات رياضة ركوب الأمواج أو ما يعرف ب"الركمجة" على شاطئ بحر غزة نظرا لحالة البحر الهادئة وملائمتها لإجراء هذه الرياضة, ومناسبة حالة الأمواج لممارستها بأمن وسلامة, وقد شارك في هذه الفعاليات 10 لاعبين حيث انطلقت من أمام النادي البحري التابع لبلدية غزة .والمشاركون هم: محمد أبو جياب ,محمود الرياشي ,عمر الدوس ,محمد عرفات ,علي إرحيم ,إبراهيم عرفات ,إبراهيم العمصي , يوسف أبو غانم ,محمد أبو وطفة ,حسني الحسني. وقال رئيس الاتحاد الفلسطيني للشراع محفوظ الكباريتي " إن إقامة هذه الفعاليات جاء تطبيقا لتوجهات الاتحاد وخطته للعام الجاري 2010 بالعمل على نشر هذه الرياضة الشيقة, والممتعة والتي تمتلك حظوظا وافرة في محافظات غزة مع توفر ومناسبة أمواج البحر لإقامتها في معظم أوقات السنة ". من جهة أخرى واصل الاتحاد اتصالاته مع الاتحاد الدولي للحصول على عضوية الاتحاد الدولي , علما بأن الدول العربية الوحيدة العضو في الاتحاد الدولي هي المغرب ؛ نظرا لعدم توفر الأمواج في بلدان الخليج عموما, وعدم انتشار هذه الرياضة في كثير من البلاد العربية . حيث تسعى فلسطين وبقوة إلى دخول هذه الرياضة إلى الاتحاد الدولي والاستفادة من الدعم المقدم لانتشارها وجعلها رياضة ممارسة في كافة محافظات غزة . كما طلب الاتحاد الفلسطيني للشراع من الاتحاد الدولي للعبة إرسال مجموعة من اللاعبين , والممارسين للتدريب من اجل الاستفادة من الأساليب التدريبية والتحكيمية حيث من المتوقع أن تشارك فلسطين بعد من اللاعبين والمدربين في دورة خاصة تعقد في جنوب إفريقيا الصيف المقبل. في سياق متصل فقد قرر اتحاد الشراع عقد اجتماع للجمعية العمومية للاتحاد من اجل وضعها في صورة القانون والتطورات الجديدة على صعيد شروط التحكيم والتدريب والتقنيات الحديثة المستخدمة في اللعبة. إلى ذلك أدان مجلس إدارة الاتحاد الاعتداء الذي جرى مؤخرا على غرفة الاتحاد الخاصة بجوار ميناء غزة حيث تم سرقة كافة محتوياتها وأدواتها بالكامل .

Italian fishermen in solidarity with Palestinian fishermen in the Strip

The International Palestinian Campaign Demands the Widest International Solidarity with the Palestinian Fishermen

The International Palestinian Campaign to Break the Siege on Gaza, along with a network of other civil associations, stressed the importance of united efforts at such times for the widest Arab and international solidarity possible. This is in order to pressure the Israeli occupation forces to stop their constant aggressions against the Palestinian fishermen in the Strip, and for the latter to fish in Gaza seas securely and freely.

This call was initiated by a member of the committee and the coordinator of the solidarity campaign with the fishermen in the Gaza Strip, Mahfouth el Kabarity.

El Kabarity's call was expressed in a meeting in Rimini today [June 23, 2009] between Arab and Italian fishermen in solidarity with fishermen in the Strip that occurred via phone from Gaza. Many fishermen associations and syndicates attended the event where photos and video footage were displayed and which show the siege and occupation's affect on the fishermen and the limited distance they are forced not to trespass.

Kabarity offered a full explanation about the influences of the siege and blockade in addition to the disallowing of appropriate and necessary fishing equipment to enter the Strip. This, Kabarity said, would obstruct and negatively affect the fishing industry in specific, and on the Palestinian industry in general. More so, Kabarity spoke about what the Palestinian fishermen are subject to and the violations of their natural right to fish in their own waters which is mentioned in international treaties and agreements.

Furthermore, Kabarity expressed his admiration for the international solidarity workers, and to Vittorio the Italian with the International Solidarity Movement activists who accompanied the fishermen and who were subject to abduction and arrest by the occupation forces' naval gunboats. They were deported to their homeland and insisted on coming back in to break the siege and live with the Palestinian people and share their strife.

Kabarity called upon the international community to reveal the unjust reality that the fishermen are subject to. He called upon the world to stand by the Palestinians and break the siege, along with opening of the crossings, and for the Palestinian to live freely in dignity.

On their behalf, the Arab and Italian fishermen expressed their unquestionable solidarity with the fishermen in Gaza, condemning the acts and violations of the occupation forces.

They expressed admiration for the endurance and resistance of fishermen in confronting such a reality, and spoke of the necessity of lifting the siege, and relieving the Palestinians from their suffering as a result. In addition, they called for the protection of the fishermen while working at sea.

It is important to note that this is but one activity in a series of activities to be launched by the international solidarity movement in coordination with the International Palestinian Campaign to Break the Siege", in cooperation with the Palestinian fishermen , Associations of Fishing marine sports and syndicates ,

Jenny write :

"It was my pleasure to visit the Palestinian Sailing Federation (PSF) at the headquarters of the Palestinian Olympic Committee in Gaza. I wish the PSF all the best in its endeavours and hope that Gazan sailors will have the opportunity to develop their nautical skills whilst asserting their right to sail in Gazan waters. They deserve the freedom to compete with fellow sailors around the world and I will strive to forge links between this project and similar projects in other countries."

Interview with Mr. Mahfouz Kabariti, Coordinator of the Fishermen's Solidarity Campaign in the Gaza Strip1

ADALAH'S NEWSLETTER Volume 60, May 2009
Interview with Mr. Mahfouz Kabariti, Coordinator of the Fishermen's Solidarity Campaign in the Gaza Strip1
Interview conducted by Salah Mohsen, Adalah's Media Coordinator
What are the problems faced by fishermen in Gaza? When did these problems start?
There has always been Israeli harassment and restrictions on the Gazan fishermen. These problems are linked to the overall political atmosphere, but they have escalated since the first Intifada as well as with the start of the second Intifada in 2000.
In the Oslo Accords, it was agreed to allow the Palestinian fishermen to sail 20 nautical miles, which is equivalent to approximately to 37 km. This distance was never reached because Israel has restricted our movement at sea to a maximum of 12 nautical miles. Following the outbreak of the second Intifada, the distance was reduced to 6–7 nautical miles, and after the recent military offensive, Israel reduced the distance to 3 nautical miles.
Even in the permitted area, the Israeli gunboats harass the fishermen. There are many instances in which the fishermen's boats are attacked with live ammunition or with high-pressure water cannons that are mixed with bad smelling chemicals of unknown composition. These attacks lead the fishermen to slipping on their boats, causing them injury as well as damage to the equipment and the boats. The Israeli forces arrest the boat owners, after compelling them to undress in a humiliating manner and swim to the gunboats even on cold winter days. Then, after blindfolding the fishermen, the Israeli forces detain them and take them and their boats to the port of Ashdod. There, the fishermen are interrogated and attempts are made to pressure them to work as agents for the Israeli security services. In many cases, the fishing boats are seized for long periods of time. Each boat is the means of livelihood for 7–8 families and the larger boats for 10–15 families.
Besides the harassment at sea, the Gaza fishermen suffer from many problems, notably, the lack in the local market of equipment and raw materials necessary for fishing and for the boats, such as boat paint that prevents rust and the proliferation of algae on the boats, engine spare parts, fishing nets and other equipment. More importantly, however, is the alarming increase in the price of industrial fuel (solar) and petrol. In the past the price of a liter was six shekels, but during the military offensive it reached 35 shekels. Under these circumstances, the fishermen were forced to operate their boats with cooking oil, which is inefficient and leads to significant damage to the boat engines, in addition to the negative impact on the environment and health as a result of the exhaust fumes following combustion.
Does fishing close to the beach or in the deep sea only affect the quantity of fish or their quality as well?
The fish live and breed among the rocks; the coastal zone off of the Gaza coast is sandy, almost rock free. The fish farms are in the nearest rocky area, which is eight nautical miles from the Gaza shores. To overcome this problem, the fishermen brought remnants of old cars and threw them into the sea; over time, algae and sea plants began to grow on these vehicles and they became fields for fish breeding instead of natural rock. This solution is not good as it pollutes the sea as well as tears the nets, but it is the only way to overcome the Israeli restrictions.The best period for fishing is at the end of spring, from mid-April to late July. The fishermen wait for this period all year in order to pay their debts, as during this period, a large number of migratory fish such as sardines, which is one of the most popular meals in the Gaza Strip, pass through the area. Depriving the fishermen from fishing during this season poses an economic disaster for them.
The issue is not a security issue The security justifications given by the Israelis for clamping down on the fishermen are unfounded. The first and only concern of the fishermen is fishing for their livelihood and providing for themselves and their children. The real objectives of the harassment are collective punishment and hitting the Palestinian economy by opening the Palestinian market to the fish produced in the Israeli fish farms and the frozen fish imported through Israel.. According to the Food and Agriculture Organization (FAO), the Gazan community needs 21,000 tons of fish annually. In the last year, the total extracted fish from the sea was only 3,000 tons in a fishing depth of 8–10 miles with international solidarity escorts. This number is a small amount that is reasonably good, but is not enough for the Strip. Furthermore, after the Israeli navy reduced the distance of sailing to 2.5-3 nautical miles and seized or damaged a large number of fishing boats, the anticipated amount of fish will not exceed a few hundred tons. The price of sardines has now reached its highest levels; it is a popular food that is an alternative and complementary to chicken in the Gaza Strip, particularly for those with limited income.
In addition, the Israeli navy often intercepts the wireless transmissions between the fishermen, and the soldiers shout and say repugnant words, telling the fisherman that, "If you want to fish freely, release Shalit and then we will leave you alone."
Environmental and health disaster
Near the coast, there is a seawall that constitutes a harbor used by the fishermen to dock their boats; it is also a fishing area for fishermen and fishing enthusiasts who fish with tackles. In a nearby area, a sewage pipeline was installed to be used in emergency situations when the normal sewage system is disrupted. Recently, after all the sewage pumps broke down and there are no spare parts or pipes and cement to repair them, all the Gaza sewage flows into the sea. The flow of sewage has converted the harbor into a quagmire of wastewater and contaminated a wide area of the water close to the beach. Therefore, all the fish caught near the beach may be unfit to eat, to say nothing of the direct impact on the marine environment, which will extend to beyond the shores of Gaza. What must be done: Leave us aloneDespite their tragic circumstances and poor economic conditions due to their heavy losses because of the siege, war and destruction of infrastructure and their financial needs, all the fishermen in the Gaza Strip seek is the lifting of the closure and providing the opportunity for them to do their work freely, safely and with dignity.
