The Palestinian Center for Human Rights revealed on Thursday that Gaza workers have suffered for many years from the Israeli blockade, restrictions, and denial of their most basic rights.
The center said in a press statement: "Before the war of extermination, data from the Central Bureau of Statistics showed that the unemployment rate in Gaza reached 45.1%, compared to 12.9% in the West Bank."
It added: "It was noted that unemployment was spreading at an alarming rate among university degree holders and diploma holders."
The center continued: "At that time, the unemployment rate among graduates aged 19–29 in Gaza reached 73%."
He added, "Reports from the International Labor Organization and the Palestine Economic Policy Research Institute (MAS) during the months of the war indicate that unemployment rates in Gaza rose to more than 80% by the end of 2024."
The center stated, "Four out of five individuals of working age were left without a source of income," explaining that "the overall unemployment rate in the West Bank after the war reached approximately 35%."
It added, "The war destroyed approximately 90% of the housing, infrastructure, and industrial, commercial, agricultural, and service facilities in the Gaza Strip."
The center noted that the enemy prevented workers from accessing agricultural lands and fishing at sea.

Palestinian resistance accuses enemy of arming gangs to create chaos, steal aid in Gaza
Gaza – Saba: A security source within Palestinian resistance factions has revealed intelligence confirming the Israeli enemy's involvement, along with other parties, in forming armed gangs to spread chaos and steal international aid in Gaza. This chaos is allegedly used as a pretext for aid theft and targeting operating institutions. The source told the Palestinian Safa News Agency that these mercenary gangs some with a history in smuggling, murder, and theft, and including takfiri individuals, have been operating under the protection of the Israeli army in areas under occupation. They are accused of supervising aid theft and reselling it at inflated prices. The source specifically named agent Yasser Abu Shabab, previously detained by Gaza security services, as a leader of these armed gangs with connections to groups abroad involved in suspicious cross-border smuggling. The resistance security source threatened that the future of these gangs "will be no better than that of Lahad's agents" (referring to the South Lebanon Army which collaborated with Israel and collapsed after Israel's withdrawal), vowing a forceful confrontation against them as an "occupying force."
