June 2017 saw the tenth anniversary of the Israeli-imposed blockade on the Gaza Strip which has resulted in economic collapse in Gaza and a sharp drop in the standard of living there. Unemployment rates in Gaza are among the highest in the world, with an overall rate of 46.6% in 2017. The situation is far worse among women and young adults. Balah Falestin, a date-processing plant, was established in Gaza in 2016 as part of a financial aid program for women. The plant, funded by Canada’s Department of Foreign Affairs, Trade and Development (DFATD), employs women who are out of work or come from low-income families. The 41 women who work there are paid a salary and receive a portion of the profits. B’Tselem field researcher Khaled al-‘Azayzeh visited the facility in December 2017 and spoke with some of the women working there.

On Monday 29 January around

9:00 A.M., three bulldozers accompanied by Border Police personnel arrived

East Jerusalem. The forces destroyed two buildings under construction
containing a total of nine housing units. The Israeli Ministry of

At 10:30 this morning, Israeli Civil Administration personnel arrived with
troops and bulldozers at the community of ‘Ein Karzaliyah in the
northern Jordan Valley, and demolished a tent used as the home of the
last remaining family in the community. Also demolished were three sheep
pens belonging to this family, which has six members in total,
including three minors. The troops also demolished a residential tent
belonging to a family that no longer lives at the site and two more
sheep pens, and dug up the dirt road leading to the community to make it
unusable. Until April 2017, three families, with a total of 30 members
lived in the community, but because of the unceasing harassment by
Israeli authorities - including 14 demolitions since 2014 - the two
other families left. Earlier today, at around eight A.M., the forces
came to the a-Shuna community in the Jiftlik area and demolished a
concrete residential structure which was still under construction.
