<p>The United Nations Office for the Coordination of Humanitarian Affairs (OCHA) assesses
that the restrictions on access to fishing waters in Gaza is a key factor discouraging
investment and perpetuating high levels of unemployment, food insecurity and aid dependency.
The fishing industry is important for the social and economic wellbeing of Gaza and
we want to see an increase in the fishing zone, in line with the limit of 20 nautical
miles stipulated in the Oslo accords. The UK has consistently called on the Government
of Israel to ease movement, including at sea, and will continue to do so.</p>
