Economy in Gaza.

As if the siege on Gaza didn’t devastate the economy enough , the war is already costing much 

Almost 10% of Gaza’s factories have been put out of action, said the Palestinian Federation of Industries. Most other industrial plants have halted production during the conflict, causing losses estimated at more than $70m (£42m), said the union of Palestinian industries. The UN’s food and agriculture organisation (FAO) said about 42,000 acres of croplands had sustained substantial direct damage and half of Gaza’s poultry stock has been lost due to direct hits or lack of care as access to farmlands along the border with Israel became impossible.

More than 9% of the annual fishing catch was lost between 9 July and 10 August, it added.

 israel since yesterday have been targeting heavily dense buildings , amusement park and even a mall in Rafah which is estimated to cost  millions of dollars alone.

“Israel is targeting [Gazans’] sources of income to turn them against the resistance,” he said. “But that would never happen.”
