All forms of production have declined significantly or completely stopped in the Gaza Strip due to the Israeli siege, given the export restrictions imposed on the Strip ever since the blockade took hold, in addition to the increased difficulty in importing raw material or necessary equipment. Gaza Ark is trying to challenge the export ban.

"Gaza's Ark is rebuilding a large fishing boat in Gaza and converting it into a cargo vessel using existing resources. A crew of internationals and Palestinians will sail it out of Gaza, the only Mediterranean port closed to shipping, carrying Palestinian products to fulfill trade deals with international buyers, to challenge the illegal Israeli blockade of the Gaza's Strip."
