    The report released Tuesday by the U.N. Conference on Trade and Development points to the eight years of economic blockade of Gaza as well as the three wars between Israel and the Palestinians there over the past six years.

    Last year’s war displaced half a million people and left parts of Gaza destroyed.

    The new report says the wars have “shattered its ability to export and produce for the domestic market” and left no time for reconstruction.

    It says Gaza’s “de-development,” or development in reverse, has been accelerated.

    Israel and Egypt have maintained a blockade of Gaza since the Islamic militant group Hamas seized control of the territory in 2007.

    Hopefully sooner than 2020, and Jews will merit to move back to that part of the Jewish land.

    As long as the region is “inhabited” by savages who care more about death (their own suicide stupidity) and killing Jews, it will never use its resources for anything constructive. Let them have nowhere to live, and their extinction will be a positive step for the world.

    All that beautiful Mediterranean beach front. WHY IS GAZA NOT A TOURIST DESTINATION? So many Europeans support Gaza and BDS. A positive step would be European tourism. Add currency to the region. Peace and development.

    At this rate, crowding is very likely to increase and Gaza is already the most densely populated area in the world. As such, disease is going to break out thousands will die from it. From there, civil disobedience will erupt and shops and houses will be set afire. As the army try to retain control, civil war starts. As the population is heavily armed, a lot, a lot, a lot of people will die, and a lot more. Without proper manpower and burial places, corpses will rot on the streets and inside the demolished, blown out houses. As a result, all types of disease including typhus, bubonic plague, diarrhea, ebola, avian flu, pig flu, camel flue, vulture flu, bat flu, etc, fever, swelling, and boils that cannot be cured will spread, so that those who survived the ongoing war will wish they had died in the ongoing civil war. With the area mostly devastated and without proper infrastructure, crippled survivors will run away to neighboring countries Egypt, Syria and Jordan, where they will be met by fierce opposing army that will slaughter them all. 100 years later, the name Gaza is no longer remembered as they never had any important impact on civilization.

    From what I have been reading the tunnels are being dug faster than ever in preparation for the next round of war, instead of building housing. As long as the europeans keep sending funds to gaza the money goes towards the war effort
