Gaza Strip

Arabic: qit・SUP>c ghazza

http://lexicorient.com/e.o/gazastrp.htm



Palestinian territory of about 360 kmイ, bordered to the south by Egypt

and to the north and east by Israel.

The coastline is 40 km, the border to Egypt (which is in practice cut off

by an Israeli corridor parallel to the border line) is 11 km. The width of

Gaza is at its minimum 6 km and at its maximum 14 km. Annual rainfall seldom

exceeds 400 mm and arable land is a mere 13%, of which much is in the hands

of Israeli settlers. Gaza Strip is mostly flat and large areas are sandy,

often continuing from the beaches which run along the entire coast.

Most of Gaza is governed by the Palestinian National Authority and is

the core territory of the new state, while areas of fertile agricultural

land are administered by Israel. Gaza's borders are still under Israeli

control.

The population is about 750,000, of which 300,000 are indigenous,

the rest refugees. The numbers of Israeli settlers (illegal inhabitants)

are 4,500, all under the protection of the Israeli military. The main city

of the strip is Gaza from which the strip has its name. The majority of

the population are Muslims, while there is a group of Christians as well.

The economy of Gaza Strip is highly dependent on Israel, where many

Gazans find their everyday job. About 35% of Gaza's GNP is from wages

earned in Israel. Israel is also a major trading partner and many Gazan

agricultural products are exported from Israel as Israeli products.

Little has been achieved in recent years to change the economy of Gaza.

HISTORY

The oldest sources on Gaza tell that it was the residence of

the Egyptian governor to Canaan.

13th century BCE: Arrival of the Philistines, making Gaza into

an important coastal city.

7th century CE: The Gaza territory comes under Muslim rule.

1947: By the partition plan of the UN the territory of Gaza is

projected to become part of an independent Arab state.

1948 May: Egyptian forces move up along the Palestinian coastline in

an attempt to reach Tel Aviv. Being pushed back by Jewish forces,

a British ceasefire agreement stops the Jewish troops while the

Egyptians still hold the Gaza territory. Soon after, large groups of

Palestinian refugees are coming in to Gaza.

— During the Egyptian occupation little was done to improve the

conditions on the Gaza Strip and the borders between Egypt and the

occupied strip are virtually closed. The Gazan population does not

receive any citizenship, and large parts of the population survive on UN

relief schemes.

1956: As part of the Suez-Sinai War, Gaza Strip is occupied by Israel,

but Israel leaves as a result of international pressure.

1967 June 5-10: As one of several territories, Gaza is occupied

by Israel during the Six-Day War. This time Israel stays.

1987: Start of the Palestinian Intifada, which makes Palestinian fight

for independence and political and human rights more evident in the media,

as well as forcing the official Israel to face the real situation of the

Palestinians on Gaza Strip and the West Bank.

1993: Signing of the Oslo Agreement, that is intended to secure the

establishment of a Palestinian State.

1994 May 18: Israeli troops leave most of the Gaza Strip, and control is

passed on to the Palestinian National Authority.

— July 1: Arrival of Yassir Arafat in Gaza, where an enthusiastic

crowd meets him.

1995 January 2: 3 Palestinian police officers are shot

by Israeli military, at Bayt Hanun.

1996: January 20: Elections for the Palestinian National Council and

president of the council. Gaza Strip has 37 seats in the 88 seat strong

council. PLO and Yassir Arafat become the great victors of the election.

However, no other candidate receives more votes than the leading Arafat

critic Haidar Abdu sh-Shafi, a citizen of Gaza Strip. Out of Gaza Strip

do also Hamas candidates become elected, even if Hamas in most

constituencies boycots the elections.

— February 26: After a bombs kill 26 people in Israel, Israel

closes the borders to Gaza Strip and the West Bank. This results

economical hardship on the thousands of Gazans who have their daily

work in Israel. While the borders remain closed for a couple of weeks,

Israel starts to enlist workers from East Asia.

2004 May 13: The Israeli army launches a campaign against quarters of

Rafah which they claim has strong resistance activities, and is involved

in arms smuggling. Around 50 people are killed, and Israel is strongly

condemned by the international society.










Gaza

Arabic: ghazza

http://lexicorient.com/e.o/gaza.htm



City in Palestine with 600,000 inhabitants (2003 estimate), situated on

the Mediterranean Sea. The economical base of Gaza are workers living

in the city while working in Israel, though this has been made more

difficult due to new Israeli regulations. Local sources of income are

small industries, crafts, and food processing, as well as fishing. Gaza

is the main city on the Gaza Strip and at present hosts the headquarters

of the Palestine National Authority.

The infrastructure of Gaza is underdeveloped, but there are large

schemes implemented these days to improve the quality of housing and

health services, even if most still has to be realized. The clear majority

of the population of Gaza are Muslim Palestinians.



HISTORY

In ancient times, Gaza was a prosperous Philistine city.

7th century CE: Gaza becomes predominantly Muslim.

Around 1900: The Jewish minority of Gaza abandons the city for other

Palestinian settlements.

1948: Gaza is set under Egyptian occupation, as a result of the First
Palestinian War. The face of Gaza changes as it becomes the host for
Palestinian refugees.

1967: With the Six-Day War, Gaza comes under Israeli occupation.

1994: Gaza becomes the headquarters for the new Palestinian Authority.
