this report is the latest from the world bank, stating that the economy of gaza is on the verge of collapse, and unemployment rates may be the highest in the world. it's true that what had been published by the international bank about the unemployment rate in in gaza and also for the palestinian center, palestinian center for statics also. they published things like that and we at unra or so we can assure that the unemployment rate reach to more than 40% this year and we think that it is one of the highest rate in the world. the economical situation in ghaza deteriorating and deteriorating after hours after hours and not only days or weeks. required support to the

residents of the ghaza strip until economic life is back to what it was before. i say frankly what we said before, if the current situation continues as it is, the situation is very complicated. it would entail a big explosion. as i said earlier, the israeli occupation and entire international community with the united nations at the forefront will be accountable for this explosion. for decade now, the gaza strip has been suffering from suffocating israeli bloccade and attacks against the palestinian economy that have destroyed factories and workshops that employed tens of thousands of workers.

one of the israelis told me they didn't want me to manufacture, they wanted me to trade, he told me that up front, they wanted me to import food and beverages from outside, they didn't want us to work, they're trying to get me to spy for them, i had to choose between being able to travel or working for them, i told him i didn't want the factory or the life, and that i a bedoen who doesn't mind rearing goats when necessary, none would talk back. to me, i would drink milk and feed myself. i told him to go away, as i wanted stone. i told him, it is even harder than nothing. he told me that my brain is made of stone, and i don't want to see his face ever again. israel targeted our factory in 2014, destroying and burning it. the estimated losses were around 18 million us dollars. this set us back 10 years instead of progressing. we had a plan to introduce. this

is a structured and planned process by the israeli occupation and those who help it to destroy the gaza strip until it exists no more. in the most recent war that lasted 51 days, over 500 shops and factories were destroyed and i mean completely destroyed. thus the majority of factories in the gaza strip are destroyed after. for nearly two years, those factories are still unable to rebuild what had been destroyed by the occupation. these factories which lie throughout the gaza strip are now virtually closed. thousands of labores who worked in the factories had to be let go and hundreds of traders and طبعا شرردت ترتب على هناك المئات من التجار تم اعلان افلاسهم. the

remaining plants did not survive second war, mainly because they were prevented from importing raw materials for manufacturing and also because of... the increase in the number of restrictions today we are suffering lack of everything, the least of which is that the glucose that goes into everything having to do with food materials is now banned, the stables are checked and denied access and they say it might be used in welding, air compressors are also banned, air filters, electronics and many other items are banned. from entering the gaza strip contributes to the destruction and devastation of entire industries there. how can we talk about industry while the israeli occupation prevents entry of raw materials to factories

to start and maintain a manufacturing process. we therefore cannot even talk about industry in the ghaza strip. the most critical issue is that we also cannot talk about the economy of ghaza as long as the impo export is one of the most important pillars of sustainable development, the power and success of a country is measured by its imports and exports. exports from gaza to the outside world are an essential element of its overall development. in addition, products made in gaza suited the tastes of consumer. 2006 no products have been allowed out of gaza territory. we used to export 65% of our production capacity to places like the west

bank, israel, the arab states and even europe. we built machinery for export. we are qualified to export, yet not allowed to do so, so we work in gaza only. we have. way only and that is israel exports to us while we're not allowed to reciprocate, we in gaza must get their special consent to export. most workers in gaza's factories are university graduates qualified to travel and work abroad. in 2004 i enrolled in engineering of information systems and computer data program at alcots open

university. after graduation i found a job in a textile factory that worked on computer and programming systems. the gaza chamber of commerce. responds with companies in germany and has provided the opportunity of working in modern tissue machines, however, the situation in gaza does not allow students to travel abroad because of the crossing conditions. harsh restrictions mean no one can travel from gaza to germany, so even though the opportunity made available to me and other gaza graduates from the programming section was a golden one, it came to dead end. doing jobs that are not related to their speciality just so that they can afford their daily needs, some of them are married, we

support families too, there is a large number of graduates not lucky enough to work in their chosen field, and some students have actually set fire to their degrees or certificates because they didn't help them get out of the ranks of the unemployed. 25 سنه متزوج, i'm 25 years old. married with one child, a graduate of nursing college in 2012 from alajar university. i've been unemloyed since my graduation year, my diploma hung on the wall for 4 years. it became just like any other picture frame, nothing special. i would think about burning it or throwing it away every time laid my

eyes on it, or maybe give it to a falaful seller to wrap some falaful in it, one day decided to burn it, i burned it and tossed it away because i was sick of looking at it, i ship took some appealing photos. i think there's a hidden agenda to all this by the cia or is. intelligence, the youth are broken, the first and foremost cause of immigration comes from the very depressing

situation of the youth, ibrahim is married and has three sons while mahmoud is still single. i tried to get him marry. we approached several girls, but all his proposals were turned down. on september the 4th 2014, i was surprised to learn that ibrahim and mahmoud attempted escape without my knowledge. they boarded a ship from alexandria to italy, but the ship sank five days later on the ninth. the ship had two floors, we know for sure that none of those were on the lower floor survived, those who were up on the top deck survived and some of the people on the upper floor. last year as example, the number of people who left gaza outside the world is about 1000 people only, it means that in 200 years, there is a chance every gazan to leave gaza, where is that? gaza, it's a big person, no export, no jobs, no water, no electricity, no life, actually

there is no tomorrow in gaza, the mediterranean sea lies at gaza's door and should provide the most basic necessities of life, however, israel blocked access to the territorial waters and that made gaza's construction industry. fail, the population is dependent on construction, which contain the largest number of local workers. sometimes they are allowed the building material, they don't allow the building materials, it had been stopped for two months, actually in the last two months, no building materials have been allowed into gaza for the mechanism of the un. and the pa and the israel, which benefiting from it, you

know, nearly tens of thousand people, it means that you know another number, huge number of unemployed people, when the occupiers blocked any cement from entering the gaza strip, it stopped more than 200,000 people from working, the israeli occupation is indifferent to the flight of the thousands of laborers affected, and this unfolded due to the bloccade, there has been a significant increase in the number of the unemployed, which has in turn increased poverty. many of the poor are forced to live in inhumane conditions in khan yunis, in the southern part of gaza.

the situation in this neighborhood is very bad, everyone's situation is dire, this is our house, as you can see, no rooms or toilet, the situation is very bad, there are other people like us living even in worse conditions. my house cannot be called a house, even animals cannot live in it, it is merely some walls with two middletons top where we sit, praise the lord, the situation is, as you can see, there's nothing, this is not a house, what can i show you? i cannot describe it to you, it's not a house at all, just heaps of freckage, we live in it with no gas or electricity or water, there's nothing, not even a bed.

we've been here for eight years now, this is my house, i collected some stones and built it the way you see now, as you can see. see, there's no door, window or gas. i have a sick daughter. my youngest daughter experiences convulsions due to the shortage of water. we fill the tanker every 10 days, we don't have enough to wash the dishes. worker for a short period of time, i took contracts worth $500 or $250 or $150 depending on the condition of the house. 10 years ago i feel ill with some health problems. i had kidney stones that

were weighing me down and i needed to expand or open the right kidney. i suffered from bone disease after that and i've been receiving treatment for the... past year, become very sick every now and then, all my joints are exhausted, they're all run down, i've been suffering from poor blood pressure in the last month or so, ever since my husband got sick, he stopped working and earning living. our neighbor came to get him a medical report, but we had no money. where can we go to get money? my husband's id card was torn apart and i had to borrow some money to get new one issued. we have. got my daughter's birth certificate yet, it needs around 50 jordanian dollars, i swear we couldn't afford to do it, the paper work is in my purse, هذا بيتي

هذا بيتي زينجو, الزينجو هيه واطي زي ما انت شايف قديش من المساف this house of mine is made of tin, as you can see, the distance between the tin and our heads emits heat, the walls are also made of tin, the heat inside reaches around 45 degrees, we can't bear it during summer or even winter. we also have scorpions and snakes around here, small snakes and scorpions. i took this young son of mine twice to the hospital because of scorpion by. this is my kitchen, i start the wood fire here and i cook, no gas or gasoline cooker or anything like that. praise be to the lord, this is my kitchen. لا في غاز ولا في بابور ولا في حاجه، ما فيش الحمد لله رب العالمين. هذا هو المطبخ تبعي. المره بتقعدد

وبت can't get a sachet of tea. i swear we cannot. we don't have sugar to prepare some milk. the municipal water costs two sheckles, the cube is also two sheckles, look at the house, it's all made of tin, look at the rickshore that i use for living, i can't even carry casket on the side or wherever, i wish i could smash to pieces, but i don't have money to fix it, and at the same time i can't do it. but the israelis stopped this, they forced us to go to gaza to find work, but i have nothing to do here, my work came to an end in 2004, i came back to gaza and was never allowed out. we have no income to

afford a decent living. we are suffering. i had been living in a rental in al-nusirat, a shed in an orchard with one room, toilet and a kitchen, the rest was agricultural land. i used to pay $100 a month for that. after i stopped working though, i can't afford living expenses at all, i have no money, so i came to this area in hannus and built a house of tin, as you can see, i think that. the number that you talked about more than 9000 palestine refugees, that they are divided in two categories, the object war and the absolute war. i think that situation in gaza deteriorated to level that you know that you will find very soon that 80% of the population are depending on you and

humanitarian aid or humanitarian aid that is being provided not only by honor but we get two sacks of wheed flour, several sardin cans and two bags of whole milk from the anuu every four months, that's all we get. obviously anrua plays pivotal role providing aid to needy families that have grown dramatically in number. in 2000 as example, we only provided food distribution to 8000 palestinian refugees, now we are reaching to

1 million because of the bloccade, because of the destruction of all the economical aspects, no export, and i think that this number will increase by days, by weeks, by years if the bloccade is not lifted, poverty has become so serious that some families have even considered marrying off their daughters for money and at early age, some families presented their daughters ready for marriage and thereby reduced their debts through our matching unit run by the association that secures marriage opportunities for girls, there are cases that we have already accomplished through project set up by the marriage project, there are some girls who even accepted handicapped or wounded man to be their life partner and consideration انما

كانت تقبل بهذا الزوج. the fact that young men and women cannot afford the cost of a wedding anymore has led to the phenomenon of group marriage facilitation, which at least gives young gosons a way of ending the... bachelorhood to marry and move into a marriage house, the association to facilitate marriage was founded nearly 10 years ago with the aim of helping the you had the intention to get married by providing financial grants, planning wedding sermon.

despite the suffering gazens indure, they try to delight themselves in the hope that a day will come when unemployment will be low. the illegal bloccade is lifted and the besegers are the losers.

the ways that the israeli occupation is using to fight against education in palestine are not limited to the prevention of building and developing the educational institutions. when the israeli occupation bombs empty ajaken places, this destroys the classroom. despite the heart conditions and the crippling sige on gaza, i advise all male or female students to study at university to continue with studying, we are nation that deserves to live indeed. art is the title to describe the beauty or language used to translate its emotions and feelings, resulting in his. values interacting with all the people despite the different tongues and colors.

everyone that sees the smoke envisages destroyed home with dead people and devastated lives in its place. however, i try to bring this place back to life in my own way where i can change the image of destruction into an image that's more at ease to the sensitivities of people. every artwork presents a valuable theme and truth about palestine in a beautiful and civilized way. i think the israelis oppose this as they search for any image that they can use to tarnish the palestinian community and depict palestinians as terrorists.

je pense qu'ils vont poser là-haut, faut qu'on se décale.

the headlines this hour, the world health organization warns of a real catastrophe in gaza, as israeli regime continues its bloody onslot against the besieg territory. iran wars are preemptive measures by the resistance front if israeli crimes and the script continued and the hamos resistance movement says it is not intimidated by israel's a ground invasion threat warning that gaza was turn into a graveyard for its invaders.
