Gaza refers to a region on the eastern coast of the Mediterranean Sea, specifically a part of the State of Palestine. It is known for its historical significance and geopolitical complexity. The Gaza Strip, an area approximately 25 miles long and 7 miles wide, is bordered by Israel to the north and east, Egypt to the southwest, and the Mediterranean Sea to the west.
The population of Gaza is predominantly Palestinian, and the region has been a focal point of the Israeli-Palestinian conflict, characterized by ongoing disputes over territorial rights, governance, and security. Gaza is governed by Hamas, an Islamist political and militant group, which has led to a blockade by Israel and Egypt, restricting movement and access to resources.
The history of Gaza includes ancient civilizations and significant events that have shaped its cultural and political landscape. Today, it is often associated with humanitarian issues, economic challenges, and military conflicts.
