GAZA CITY, Gaza Strip — Gaza’s ancient port is a haven for locals wishing to escape the problems of their everyday lives and a suitable venue for some fun and entertainment. However, some people also consider it a good place to earn their living, as poverty and unemployment in Palestinian society have taken a toll.
The port of Gaza is historically one of the most important ports of Palestine, and it has been mentioned in several ancient historical texts. This port had a central location for commercial caravan routes in the ancient world, and today it serves as a form of respite for Palestinians suffering under siege and an economic crisis.
