Prior to the Hamas-led attack on Israel of October 7th, 2023, Gaza is a place where most people live off international aid, quite apart from the other significant sums of money given to Fatah (aka "Palestinian Authority, the").
Gaza also produces rather little (e.g. some agricultural produce, scrap metal, exhausted batteries).
Gaza's two main production items:
(the first of which is discussed anon) while other main product is conflict.

The barbarian [by reference to the Hamas-led massacre of October 7th, 2023] Hamas regime is then, kept artificially in existence by European and Arab countries, by way of "humanitarian" aid mostly via Fatah. Fatah which pays a reward pension ("pay for slay") for terrorism against Israeli Jewish civilians. I can only assume it is kept in existence by those countries in the hope the Palestinian Arabs will destroy Israel and expel or murder its indigenous Jews.

In a France 24 English news report a Gaza Palestinian Arab lady was interviewed. It was reported she had lost her two adult sons in the conflict (since October 2023); the circumstances of their deaths were not explained.
With a smile she explained that Gaza would produce: many more babies.
Palestinian Arab children are prepared for conflict by being indoctrinated in hatred and falsehood, through their Palestinian education system, specifically their textbooks:

Quote:'[...] international aid organizations and many countries kept on sending money to Gaza, purportedly for humanitarian aid. The United Nations Relief and Works Agency, the U.N. agency for Palestinian refugees, raises money for Gaza through its Web site, with payments going through WorldPay (part of the Royal Bank of Scotland Group ), the Arab Bank PLC in Gaza and HSBC in Amman, Jordan. Those funds come in addition to UNRWA's annual budget of $400 million.
The $7 billion to $10 billion that the Palestinian Authority has received since 1993 has come from the European Union, the U.N., the U.S., Saudi Arabia and other Arab League countries. France alone has sent more than $3 billion. This influx of cash has done little to advance the development of a viable Palestinian state or of peace in the region. Rather, it has helped to fuel the Palestinian leadership's terrorist agenda, and kept the Palestinian people oppressed and disenfranchised. [...]'
