Doesn’t global warming cause everything?
“GENEVA, Switzerland, Sept. 1 (UPI) -- The United Nations' trade and development arm on Tuesday painted a bleak picture for the Palestinian-held and highly contested territory of Gaza, saying the strip could cease to be habitable within five years if the current economic and political climates persist.”
…
“According to the report, Gaza by 2020 will no longer have the economy and infrastructure needed to support the nearly 2 million residents there. The problem, officials say, is the constant warring between Palestinians and Israelis, which, over time, has seriously eroded the Gaza Strip's sustainability.”

Well, if the UN can’t blame climate change, it can blame da Jooz. And it does citing an “economic blockade” and “three military operations.”
A check of a map shows Israel is not the only country bordering Gaza, but Hamas has angered Egypt to the point of blockade from the south, as well as Israel’s forces north and in the Mediterranean Sea. Countries tend not to be friendly when other governments ambush soldiers and kill tourists, as Hamas has done.
Egypt had the place as the Gaza Strip for 19 years (1948-67), yet kept it in poverty. That was OK, though, because it was Muslims doing it to Muslims.
