Coming Soon-Ten Million Palestinian Arabs?

It is well known that living conditions under Hamas controlled Gaza are deplorable. Gaza residents suffer from high unemployment, and environmental, social and living conditions are in a dreadful state.

A new report released by the U.N. reveals that all Palestinian Arab towns suffer from the same plight, however, Gaza stands out due to its large concentrated population.
According to the report, without proper international intervention, growth of the Arab population, especially in Gaza will lead to more unemployment which will put a greater strain on the already strained infrastructure in Gaza.
That this will fuel the crisis and cause more people to join militant groups.

“we are not in a good state, and for the sake of truth, the situation is horrible” says Andres Tompson, Head of the U.N. population foundation for Palestinian territories. “Primarily in Gaza-but things are getting worse and worse every day. If things continue like this, we can assume that the area will be ripe for conflicts. Until a major escalation erupts.
It’s worth dealing with the situation before things get severe.”
Unemployment in Gaza today is at 43% and in the territories at 18%
In order to keep these statistics from rising until the year 2030, millions of new jobs will have to be created!
The report claims that its hard to imagine so many new jobs will be created by then, and unemployment will rise to be from the highest the world.

As of today, 3 million Arabs live in Yehuda and Shomron, and almost 2 million in the Gaza strip. Since 2007 when Hamas took over Gaza, 60% of the Arab youth don’t complete their schooling, and get a job in order to help support their families.
Blackouts are a regular occurrence in Gaza, and some days are limited to a mere 4 hours of electricity. Despite the poverty, unemployment and other hardships plaguing the residents, the birthrate keeps going up.

Tompson suggests that regulating early marriages and introducing “Family planning” can help solve the problem.
