RESTRICTION SUMMARY: APAwire CLIENTS ONLY SHOTLIST: APAwire - APAwire CLIENTS ONLY, Gaza- 21 September 2021. Palestinian women participate in an exhibition of handicrafts. 0.1 SOUNDBITE (in Arabic) Shorouk El Hajjar, Project Manager STORYLINE: According to a report issued by the Palestinian Central Bureau of Statistics, the unemployment rate in the Gaza Strip reached 52 percent in 2020. 83 percent of the population lives in poverty. Two million Palestinians live the Gaza Strip, which has been subjected to a punishing and crippling Israeli blockade for 14 years and repeated onslaughts that have heavily damaged much of the enclave’s infrastructure. Gaza’s 2-million population remains under “remote control” occupation and a strict siege, which has destroyed the local economy, strangled Palestinian livelihoods, plunged them into unprecedented rates of unemployment and poverty, and cut off from the rest of the occupied Palestinian territories and the wider world.
