Key insights
- The blockade of the Gaza Strip has led to a severe humanitarian and economic crisis, with half of the Palestinian population living in poverty, 80% relying on humanitarian aid, 68% facing food insecurity, and 69% of youth unemployed.
- Environmental and infrastructural collapse has rendered Gaza nearly uninhabitable, with electricity available only two to four hours per day and only 4% of water being fit for human consumption.
- Israeli restrictions have severely impacted food production, affecting up to 35% of agricultural lands and 85% of fishing waters through methods including the use of live ammunition, harassment of fishers, and destruction of crops and property.
- The document asserts that Israel's policies toward Gaza's two million inhabitants violate international humanitarian law, specifically the obligations of an Occupying Power to ensure basic needs and prohibit collective punishment.
