Palestinian fisherwoman Madeline Kolab repairs her fishing net on the sea beach in Gaza City, on Jan. 23, 2013. Sixteen-year-old Madeline Kolab is a fisherwoman. Her father, a veteran fisherman, became disabled, and therefore, she quit school after the ninth grade to take the job. “I don’t care about what people say. I only care about feeding my family although fishing in Gaza is risky. The Israeli navy allows boats only a few miles offshore.” Kolab said.
