Degree but no job: The battle against unemployment in Gaza

The article highlights the severe unemployment crisis in Gaza, focusing on the struggles of graduates like Rawan al-Jabali and Mohammed al-Khudari, who face extreme difficulties finding employment despite holding degrees. Al-Jabali, a graduate in English language and literature, has spent two years without a job, while al-Khudari, an engineering graduate, has had to apply for unrelated jobs due to the collapse of the labor market. Both individuals live under the ongoing Israeli military operations, which have exacerbated economic hardship, leading to over 80% of Palestinians in Gaza being unemployed and a poverty rate exceeding 93%. The piece emphasizes the impact of the war and pre-existing economic challenges on the livelihoods of Gazans.
