The unemployment rate in Gaza remains among the highest in the world in the second half of 2010, the UN Relief and Works Agency for Palestine Refugees (UNRWA) said on Tuesday.
The study conducted by the organization said that over 45.2 percent of the working-age people in the coastal enclave were unemployed, a slight improvement from the 45.7 percent of unemployed in the parallel period in 2009.
This is collective punishment of 1.5 million people more than half of whom are under 18 years old. Israel should be ashamed of itself. It should end the economic blockade of Gaza now.
