Gaza Fishermen Return To Work As UN Backs Temporary ISF Under Trump's Gaza Peace Plan
Palestinians sell fish during a ceasefire between Israel and Hamas at the seaport of Gaza City, on November 18, 2025. The United Nations Security Council approves a resolution yesterday, including a temporary International Stabilization Force (ISF) in Gaza, as part of US President Donald Trump's 20-point plan to bring peace to the enclave. Under the resolution, the ISF is responsible for securing Gaza's borders, protecting civilians, facilitating humanitarian assistance, supporting the training and deployment of a reconstituted Palestinian police force, and overseeing the permanent de-commissioning of weapons held by Hamas and other armed groups in the enclave. The draft also provides guidelines for a pathway to Palestinian statehood. (Photo by Majdi Fathi/NurPhoto) -

Charith clears away fishing nets that have washed up on the beach
Tsunami survivor builds turtle sanctuary, Sri Lanka - Aug 2017
*Full story: https://www.rexfeatures.com/nanolink/tkel
When the devastating Boxing Day earthquake and tsunami struck in 2004 it killed some 35,000 people in Sri Lanka and caused widespread devastation. Charith Dilshan was one of the lucky ones. When the waves struck he, his mother, two sisters and brother, along with other villagers, survived by fleeing to a temple on a nearby hill. Though they survived with their lives Charith's family home was destroyed and they, like many, resettled further away from the coast. However, after his brush with death Charith developed a deepened appreciation for nature and a feeling of responsibility to protect it. As a Buddhist, he believes, 'If you respect nature, nature will respect you.' As such he decided to transform his family's beachfront land into a sea turtle hatchery and sanctuary, where he protects endangered sea turtle eggs until they can be safely released, and rehabilitates injured or disabled turtles that cannot survive on their own.

Whale sharks steal fish from fishing nets West Papua, Indonesia - 11 Oct 2011

Having A Whale Of A Time
These gentle giants are having a whale of a time - stealing fish out of the nets of fishermen.
These incredible shots show the 20 tonne whale sharks placing their mouths against the nets and sucking anchovies through the holes.
Photographer Steve Jones from Oxon in the UK spent five days in West Papua, Indonesia, documenting the behaviour.
A special relationship has developed between the sharks and locals here with the animals attracted to local fishing platforms by the nets full of anchovies that hang beneath them.
Steve, 40, said: 'The whale sharks are attracted to the local fishing platforms by the nets full of anchovies that hang under them.
"Many of the nets are in a poor state of repair and the sharks do not miss the opportunity for a free lunch.
"They use their cavernous mouths to vacuum the unfortunate fish through the holes in the nets.
"Yet rather than persecute these sharks for competing with them, the Papuan fishermen embrace their company during their long, lonely stints at sea.
"I witnessed the men swimming with the sharks on a daily basis and saw the smiles on their faces as they hand fed them left over fish at the end of the day.
"On one occasion a fisherman went underwater at night to cut a whale shark free after it had become caught up in the net.
"He subsequently lost his entire catch, yet the following morning he seemed only proud to have helped an animal that they believe brings luck.
"He cared little for the considerable risk he had taken, the animals are so big an accidental clip from a tail is like being hit by a small car"
The father-of-one added: "The behaviour shown by the whale sharks in the bay is incredibly unusual.
"These sharks are normally solitary, yet we witnessed them in groups of up to nine in one go, careful...
