Living in Gaza and siege and destruction

The severe and shocking economic losses suffered by Gaza after the recent Israeli war included all sectors directly or indirectly, and their repercussions were evident to the citizens there, but the insistence on life and construction is a motive to overcome the ordeal.
Saturday, 13/9/2014, from the "Economy and People" program discussed the economic situation in the Gaza Strip after the Israeli aggression that lasted 51 days and left losses estimated at five billion dollars, while destroyed more than five hundred economic establishments completely or partially destroyed, as well The unemployment rate rose to more than 55%.
The program camera toured the market of the corner one of the largest and most famous commercial markets in Gaza, and spoke with a number of sellers and citizens, who agreed to the high price after the aggression, and monitored a large increase in the majority of goods in the market, prompting many Gazans to refrain from buying .
In the market, the program met with economic expert Maher Tabbaa, who stressed that the Gaza Strip suffers from catastrophic economic conditions since before the aggression due to the suffocating siege, while the war caused more catastrophic conditions.
Al-Tabaa pointed out that what is required now is to lift the unjust siege and open all commercial crossings and introduce all the needs of the sector without supervision or conditions by Israel, adding that the sector needs huge quantities of building materials to compensate for what was destroyed.
Meat and Poultry
As the camera wandered inside the poultry and meat sector in Gaza, and monitored the reluctance of citizens to buy poultry because of high prices, while the price of meat and the movement of purchase remained unchanged.
Spokesman for the Ministry of National Economy in Gaza Tariq Labad described the economic situation there as "very difficult", pointing out that the repeated targeting of agricultural land in the Gaza Strip during the Israeli aggression caused a severe shortage of vegetables, which reflected the prices which have seen a significant increase.
He said that the ministry is currently setting the prices of some basic materials such as water and eggs, and is in the process of determining the prices of other goods, as well as the existence of a plan to import essential materials from abroad through the Kerem Shalom crossing and the reconstruction of what was destroyed by the occupation. He sent a message to the donor conference due to be held in Cairo soon, that it needed to be accelerated.
Industry and Fishing
The industrial sector was not targeted. The program camera at the Al-Awda factory for the manufacture of biscuits, which was heavily damaged by dozens of artillery shells from Israeli tanks, targeted them directly.
The program met with the director of the return factories company Mohammed Talabani, who considered that the deliberate targeting of the factory by the Israeli occupation forces and programmed the most devastating destruction, intended to hit the economy and hit the psyche of people.
Talabani revealed that the factory returned to work with the least potential despite the great destruction, stressing "We will not despair and we will restore work and we will give the flag to those who are after us."
In the Gaza seaport, the camera spotted the fishermen's suffering from targeting and direct Israeli violations. The fishermen's captain, Nizar Ayyash, spoke about the difficult conditions experienced by the fishermen in Gaza, in light of the small quantities of fish that they can catch while allowing only fishing within six miles free.
Ayash explained that the quantities of available fish are very few, estimated at only 1500 tons per year, and do not meet the commitments and needs, estimating losses of the fishing sector by about 10 million dollars.
