Deep dives
Violence in Gaza exacerbates economic disparities
The conflict in Gaza has worsened the already substantial wealth gap between Israelis and Palestinians. The Palestinian territories have been in an economic crisis for years, with the average Israeli being 15 times richer than the average Palestinian. The economic disparity is a result of trade restrictions and the blockade imposed by neighboring countries. The restrictions have limited investment and made it difficult for Palestine's economy to function. The current conflict has further exacerbated the situation, with Gaza facing a growing humanitarian crisis and dependence on aid for basic necessities.
