It’s been 18 years since the then Israeli prime minister, Ariel Sharon, moved all Israel’s settlers and military personnel out of the Gaza Strip.

Key Points: 
  • It’s been 18 years since the then Israeli prime minister, Ariel Sharon, moved all Israel’s settlers and military personnel out of the Gaza Strip.
  • The country’s official narrative then became that they were no longer an occupying force.
  • But two years later, following the election of Hamas, the Israeli government imposed a blockade on the entire Gaza Strip.
  • So today’s 18-year-olds have suffered in a state of privation for pretty much their whole lives.

The toll of war

    • Within the densely populated Gaza Strip, the health needs of children have grown exponentially due to the conditions of the Israeli blockade.
    • In the aftermath of each war, Israel has tightened access to Gaza via the main commercial crossing for construction materials, generators and water.
    • A report conducted by the UN Environment Programme following the 2008-9 war highlighted the serious health issues due to the debris that would particularly affect children.

Crumbling infrastructure

    • Blockade has also made it impossible to develop vitally needed infrastructure.
    • The provision of clean water and adequate sewage and waste disposal requires massive investment to meet the needs of the population.
    • Meanwhile, the electricity shortages and shortage of sanitation structures mean that the sea in Gaza is highly contaminated by sewage and poorly treated wastewater.
    • With very few safe public play spaces for children, the beach is one place that many have turned to for relief.
