The Gaza Strip. A Humanitarian Implosion

An inter-agency report on the humanitarian crisis in the Gaza Strip. Gaza has suffered from a long-term pattern of economic stagnation and plummeting development indicators. The severity of the situation has increased exponentially since Israel imposed extreme restrictions on the movement of goods and people in response to the Hamas take-over of Gaza and to indiscriminate rocket attacks against Israel. This report illustrates the gravity of the current situation across key sectors, and concludes by offering specific recommendations to governments and key decision-makers.
