A serious humanitarian crisis is developing fast in the Gaza Strip. While no one is dying of hunger or infectious diseases, most Gaza residents are suffering from hardship and unemployment. The situation is worsening day by day and what can only be defined as a disaster is fast approaching.
Rasha Abou Jalal reported for Al-Monitor that according to the Palestinian Central Bureau of Statistics the rate of unemployment in Gaza in the second quarter of 2014 reached more than 44%. Representatives of human rights organizations in the Gaza Strip claim that figures for the past few months — which have yet to be released — paint an even bleaker picture of an unemployment rate of over 50%, i.e., every other adult in Gaza is unemployed.
