      Economy Gaza Strip

      Economy - overview:

       Economic output in the Gaza Strip - under the responsibility of the

       Palestinian Authority since the Cairo Agreement of May 1994 -

       declined by about one-third between 1992 and 1996. The downturn was

       largely the result of Israeli closure policies - the imposition of

       generalized border closures in response to security incidents in

       Israel - which disrupted previously established labor and commodity

       market relationships between Israel and the WBGS (West Bank and Gaza

       Strip). The most serious negative social effect of this downturn was

       the emergence of high unemployment; unemployment in the WBGS during

       the 1980s was generally under 5%; by 1995 it had risen to over 20%.

       Israel's use of comprehensive closures decreased during the next few

       years and, in 1998, Israel implemented new policies to reduce the

       impact of closures and other security procedures on the movement of

       Palestinian goods and labor. These changes fueled an almost

       three-year-long economic recovery in the West Bank and Gaza Strip;

       real GDP grew by 5% in 1998 and 6% in 1999. Recovery was upended in

       the last quarter of 2000 with the outbreak of violence, triggering

       tight Israeli closures of Palestinian self-rule areas and a severe

       disruption of trade and labor movements. In 2001, and even more

       severely in 2002, Israeli military measures in Palestinian Authority

       areas resulted in the destruction of capital plant and

       administrative structure, widespread business closures, and a sharp

       drop in GDP. Including West Bank, the UN estimates that more than

       100,000 Palestinians out of the 125,000 who used to work in Israel,

       in Israeli settlements, or in joint industrial zones have lost their

       jobs. In addition, about 80,000 Palestinian workers inside the

       Territories are losing their jobs. International aid of $2 billion
