Palestinian FM describes Israel’s closure of the sea in Gaza Strip as a crime against humanity

International
The Palestinian Ministry of Foreign Affairs and Expatriates has asserted that the Israeli closure of the sea in the Gaza Strip is a dangerous escalation. 
 
It said in a statement issued on Tuesday that the closure is part and parcel of the collective punishment being imposed on the people of Palestine and constitutes a crime against humanity.  
 
The Israeli act increases the suffering of the fishermen who are paying a heavy price for the practices of the Israeli occupation authorities.
Israel closed the sea since Monday and prohibited fishing until further notice in a collective punishment step of the Gaza Strip’s two million population for the firing of projectiles from Gaza into Israel over the last few days, according to WAFA.
 
As a result, 60,000 people in Gaza who make their living from fishing have been affected by the arbitrary Israeli measure, according to Zakaria Bakr, head of the Fishermen Union Committees in Gaza.
