The Popular Committee Against the Siege has said that about 5000 different industrial and economic facilities and businesses were shut down as a result of the Israeli blockade on the Gaza Strip.
“The closure of these facilities is a dangerous indicator of the deterioration of the humanitarian situation as a result of the blockade. Thousands of workers engineers accountants and technicians stopped working and the economy wheel has come to a halt” head of the committee Jamal al-Khudari said.
He warned that the difficult situation in Gaza has catastrophic impacts on the Palestinian economy and lives of more than two million citizens who suffer from suffocating siege and successive crises.
