60% Youth Unemployment in Gaza

Via Ayman Mohyeldin: "According to this World Bank report, Gaza's unemployment is now the highest in the world (at 40%) and its economy is on the verge of collapse. The siege on Gaza has shaved 50% off of Gaza's GDP and years of war, blockades and bad governance have pushed its youth unemployment to 60%." This will create dire conditions for the population of Gaza, thus explaining the tensions and politics of the area.
