Gaza, Gaza Strip
The city of Gaza serves as administrative centre of the Gaza Strip, a region that passed from Israeli to Palestinian control in 1994. Decades of political instability and a massive influx of Palestinian refugees have produced extreme overcrowding, large-scale unemployment, and poor living conditions in Gaza and the surrounding area.
