Gaza Labor Market Slumps
Sami al-Amassi, head of the Palestinian General Federation of Trade Unions in Gaza, said the war had destroyed the foundations of the economy, pushing unemployment to around 85% and poverty among workers to more than 90%. No more than 10% of workers are currently able to find work, while over 90% depend on aid. He said that more than 90% of the roughly 56,000 private-sector businesses had been destroyed, over 87% of agricultural land had been bulldozed, and more than 70% of transport vehicles had been destroyed. He called for the blockade to be lifted and for rubble removal and reconstruction to begin, saying temporary job opportunities were not enough to address the crisis.
