The Gaza Strip will not be "a liveable place" by 2020 unless action is taken to improve basic services in the territory, according to a UN report.
Basic infrastructure in water, health, education and sanitation "is struggling to keep pace with a growing population", according to the report.
It estimates Gaza's population will rise from 1.6m to 2.1m by 2020.
Israel tightened a blockade on Gaza after the Islamist movement Hamas came to power in the territory in 2007.
Israel says the blockade, which is policed with Egyptian co-operation and has never been fully lifted, is necessary to prevent weapons reaching Hamas.
The UN report estimates Gaza will need double the number of schools and 800 more hospital beds by 2020, and says the territory is already suffering from a housing shortage.
The report also says the coastal aquifer, the territory's only natural source of fresh water, may become unusable by 2016.
Disconnected territory
UN officials point to the difficulty of improving the situation given "the closure of the Gaza Strip, violent conflict, and the pressing need for Palestinian reconciliation".
"An urban area cannot survive without being connected," said Maxwell Gaylard, the UN's humanitarian chief in Gaza.
Gaza has no air or sea ports, and the economy is heavily dependent on outside funding and smuggling through tunnels under the Egyptian border.
Even though Gaza has experienced some economic growth in recent years, the report says it "does not seem to be sustainable" and finds that Gazans are worse off now than in the 1990s.
Unemployment was at 29% in 2011 and has risen since then, particularly affecting women and young people.
Traffic through the cross-border tunnels was hit in recent weeks by violence between Egyptian security forces and militants in Egypt's Sinai peninsula, which borders Israel and Gaza.

THIS IS NOT THE TOPIC TO DISCUSS THE CONFLICT.

Systematic oppression, starvation, and eradication.

Refusing to co-exist is not going to improve this.

Neither did co-existing ever worked between the Jews and Muslims.

There are many Muslims living in Israel without any problem.

Thanks for the awesome news, and Gandalf is right.

For now. :poke:

Jews and Muslims fought together against the Crusaders, and they were co- existing pretty good in the Middle ages. The only problem is the Islamists and the Ultra Orthodox Jews who like to cause shit in the area, and the majority of them are Islamists to be fair.

Fmmm

Ok... So, Jews are now playing victims of the nazi regime, when yet, they do exactly the same thing to palestinians and those in Gaza? Please...

Awesome News? I usually respect opinions but yours just fucked up.

Yet they claim peace.

No, not the whole world.
Probably you're one of those spoiled westerns who will face these problems maybe in hundreds of years from now, not soon. Don't forge the technological difference.
You're kidding me right?
Israelis are even worse than you can imagine.
There are many Muslims living in Israel without any problem.
You've no idea about how many warnings Palestinians (Who still living in their land) receive daily about destroying their houses, every single day.

If they would do the same thing, they would deport them to Jordan, which was formed to accomodate them, and kill the ones left.
The reports might be correct, but one must see the origins. People refuse to maintain their infrastructure and pollute their own water source, then request help. As soon as the new Egyptian regime proposed a lower border control, soldiers were attacked as smugglers saw their business go down.
I am sure there are many good people living their, who would just love to live without the fear of bombs going off or some goods being closed out for a long time.
Unfortunately a small number of over-religious idiots on both sides spoil this and manage to keep the hate going.
There are two solutions. Either both sides start recognizing the rights of the other to exist, or lets move all Palestnian people out of those areas and give them some land in Siberia. Sure its cold, but nobody would disturb them.
-
Muslims and Jews used to live with eachother and fought with each other when Mohamed was alive , but to be honest . But Jews arent trustable and they are well known in the history that they betrayed us so many times .
Only war will solve this problem.If we unite im sure we will get our terrority back i guess , cause jews are known as cowards.

Lol Gandalf are you sure about this? Transferring the Palestinians out of their country again? They were already been told to move out of Israel by the western countries. And you would always have the stupid over-religious idiots on earth, same as football supporters, you will always have the over-enthiousastic supporters which ruin it for the others. Their are always people who ruin it for the majority.
Israel should stop supress the palestinians and the palestinians in their own country. And no, I am not a muslim or palestinian or an over-religious idiot.

Ever noticed the terrifying reacts of the Jews when Hamas' firework missiles hits an empty wall and makes a tiny hole? Cowards, indeed.
We have fought and survived year after year, Palestine will always be ours, nobody and nothing can ever take our land away from us. Just like we have since 1948; we will remain strong no matter the circumstances.

War will not solve the problem because the united nations will stop the war. Your point of view is ridiculous and you should change it to a peaceful one. Dude, we live in 2012, we do not live in 700 after the christ fable. The best thing to do is a silent protest with hundred thousands of people with banners wich hurts the feelings of the media in the Western countries.

When you control the mind of the people in the western countries, the television etc, our government will take actions against Israel. ( not quite sure the Netherlands will do since they have a good relationship with Israel, but some other country will)

Yes, during Ramadan, many were not allowed to pray in the Mosques unless "they think" they are not a terrorist. No problem at all.
Jews and Muslims fought together against the Crusaders, and they were co- existing pretty good in the Middle ages. The only problem is the Islamists and the Ultra Orthodox Jews who like to cause shit in the area, and the majority of them are Islamists to be fair.
You're kidding me right?
It's in the nature of Jews to be against Islam, and when i mean that, i don't take in the good ones, which are few.
They massacred and departed the people at Gaza strip and were proud enough to call it their "holocaust". They attempted this similarity in the past with the Prophet (PBUH) when they were allowed to live in peace with their traditions and events. They later turned against the Prophet (PBUH) to control over his city. It's their nature to be against Islam.
If they would do the same thing, they would deport them to Jordan, which was formed to accomodate them, and kill the ones left.

They already killed and departed them, expect maybe not in Jordan. There is no such thing as "over-religious idiots" here. Islam is a religion of not humiliation, it gives us every right to defend ourselves against invaders and never surrender.

The people in western countries got their own problems that they deal with everyday, they care less about the events occurring in middle-east. No one is in power on this World other than the one who made it.

Can you tell me ? What the f**k did The protests do? they protested already and nothing changed , they went to the UN and nothing happened.
My Country's History tought me alot.

Well, Europe can ask questions regarding the Gaza Strip and I am sure Israel will give an answer. The western countries may not care about the problems, but the people in Europe CARE. The media is talking about the current events in the Middle-East all day and every government is watching it.
I do not want to discuss about your last sentence since that will be pointless..

People =/= Goverment/Media. I went to Greece and most of the people don't even know about the fuss between the Jews/Muslims in Israel, more so, some don't know where the Israel even is, many are living their normal lives with their own problems. Some care, majority doesn't. About my last sentence, i respect your choice, if you don't want to, don't.

You can go on a protest and yell "We have had enough", you can go to another UN Conference, you can make them sign another agreement on peace, you can do blockades to avoid weapons to come in and out, but things will either remain the same or get worse. If you honestly believe that some chants or a hand shake at a fancy conference will stop the child killers of doing what they have been doing for so long, each and every day then you could just as well go to the toilet and rub your own poop all over your face.
Israel is indeed outlaw and have always been power hungry, yet people still stand on their side with respect as if they are the ones suffering every day.

Locked as the discussion has been held countless times, and people will never learn.
If you want to be a victim, you will be one forever.
