UN: Gaza could become uninhabitable for residents by 2020
The United Nations is warning that the besieged Gaza Strip could become uninhabitable for its residents by 2020.
According to the United Nations relief agency responsible for the welfare of Palestine refugees UNRWA, three Israeli wars on the region and Tel Aviv’s continued blockade are among the factors which have been exacerbating the situation in Gaza. The report said that the Israeli siege has left no time for meaningful reconstruction or economic recovery of the strip. It added that high population density is also causing social, health and security-related ramifications for the enclave. Based on the report, only lifting the Israeli blockade could reverse the current de-development and impoverishment there.
