Awake Goy Days of Palestine, Gaza Strip -The “social and economic situation in Gaza is so difficult as the unemployment rate is the highest in the world,” UNRWA said on Monday.
In a report, UNRWA said finding a job in Gaza is “not that easy work” due to the high unemployment rate among the Gaza residents.
According to the statistics of the Palestinian Central Bureau of Statistics (PCBS), unemployment rates in Gaza have reached 41.2 per cent among males and 62.6 per cent among females.
Meanwhile, the statistics showed that 80 per cent of Gaza residents depend on humanitarian assistance from charities and aid organisations.
Several international organisations, including the World Bank, have also warned that Gaza’s economy is on the “verge of collapse” due to the long and tight Israeli siege.
