Gazans lost two thirds of their jobs – more than 201,000 positions – in less than three months after the war began, the UN said. Gaza’s gross domestic product “plummeted” by 81 per cent in the last quarter of 2023, said a UN report published on Thursday. This shrunk the Palestinian enclave’s economy to a sixth of what it was in 2022, it added. The private sector has been decimated, with 82 per cent of businesses either “damaged or destroyed”.
