It is hoped that it will be ready to set sail within a few months if all the necessary tools needed for its completion are available. Funded by Beit Al Khair Foundation, the vessel has had to overcome numerous obstacles,,, Khaled Alwan, the Palestinian contractor supervising the project, said it is hoped the boat will provide 15 families with an income. He indicated that the boat also needs “an electric generator, an engine, fishing nets, spare parts, and other equipment.” Photos, >Click to read< 21:52
