STORYLINE:

As one of the most densely populated areas in the world, the Gaza Strip has been under a tight Israeli blockade since the summer of 2007.

The 2007 crisis also further severed Gaza's access to humanitarian assistance.

According to official Palestinian statistics and the World Bank, the unemployment rate in Gaza, which had reached 46 percent in early 2020, is among the highest in the world.

In addition, the poverty rate and the extreme poverty rate in Gaza have risen to 53 percent and 33.8 percent respectively, according to the latest statistics issued by the Palestinian Central Bureau of Statistics.
