What Is The Capital Of Gaza Strip ?
The Gaza city is the capital of the Gaza strip. It is the most populous city in the Gaza strip, being inhabited by over 400,000 people. |
Historically, Gaza city was important because of its proximity to the coast and has played a significant role in developing trade in this region. But the prosperity and the location on the coast resulted in Gaza city being conquered and dominated by various empires and countries for over 3500 years. Most of the empires had made Gaza city as their capital city.During this period of alien domination, little was done to improve the living conditions, trade, commerce and other aspects. However, during a brief period of control by the Romans and later by the Ridwan dynasty of the Ottoman Empire, the Gaza city experienced peace and trade and commerce flourished. Barring this brief period, the Gaza city has seen a lot of struggle and as a result of this, the inhabitants of Gaza city are impoverished and there are high levels of employment, with the unemployment rate close to 40 percent. The development, law and order continue to be non-existent even in the 21st century, and now it has become a battle field for the factional war between the Hamas and the Fatah groups.
Most inhabitants survive on the humanitarian aid provided by the United Nations and various other countries.
Agriculture is the chief occupation of the people of this region with the produce ranging from strawberries, olives, dates flowers, to various vegetables. However, the high pollution levels of the water have decreased the productivity of various farms, drastically.
