Jenin Economy Faces Blockade Challenges
The Palestinian municipality of Jenin is facing an unprecedented economic crisis resulting from years of closures, military operations, a decline in trade activity, and the suspension of labor entry into the occupied Palestinian territories. Palestinian government data indicate sharp declines in economic activity, with significant reductions in truck movements and the number of workers inside. Commercial and industrial establishments have been severely affected, along with an estimated displacement of around 20,000 people and an increase in unemployment rates to 37.9% in 2025—levels that are much higher than before the war. The crisis is further exacerbated by the halt of tax revenues (known as Qabza funds), restrictions imposed by the occupation on the movement of goods and money, and decreasing support from international organizations. These conditions are the cumulative result of previous hardships and require a comprehensive response to strengthen the private sector, compensate those affected, and improve economic activity to restore stability.
