World Bank report says Israeli blockades, war and poor governance have left 43% of people out of work and the strip facing dangerous financial crisi

The economy of Gaza – assailed by war, poor governance and a joint Israeli-Egyptian blockade – has reached the “verge of collapse” with the coastal strip suffering the highest rate of unemployment in the world.

The bleak picture is presented in a devastating report by the World Bank, released on Friday, which said that Gaza’s economy had been strangled by years of blockades, war and poor governance and faces a dangerous crisis over its ability to meet wages and other spending requirements.

Calling for the “lifting of the blockade on the movement of goods and people to allow Gaza’s tradable sectors to recover” the report warned that about 43% of Gaza’s 1.8 million residents are unemployed, with youth unemployment reaching about 60% by the end of last year.

Gaza is not even real state. However Egypt is getting more despised because of those actions. Time will eventually open up the blockade, as more and more Egyptians and Sinai Bedouins get angry at the government, especially among the latter sector their is huge anger at the government.
