Palestine is so chaotic, what do people depend on to make a living? Do they rely on international aid?

When it comes to Palestine, people often think of &”;refugee camps&”; and the scene of &”;refugees&”; with ragged clothes and pale faces queuing for relief with tattered rice bowls. In fact, many of these images are misled by the &”;selective reports&”; of various media. Let me give you an example first. As a region with a very high birth rate (6.3 children per family), Palestine is also one of the countries with the lowest illiteracy rate in the world. In 2017, the illiteracy rate in Palestinian cities was 3.1%, that in rural areas was 4.8%, and that in refugee camps was 3.3%. In this way, the development of basic education in Palestine can really keep up with the speed of giving birth to children. (Kindergarten for Refugees in Palestine) In Palestine, 12-year compulsory education was popularized as early as last century. Children in refugee camps can enter the classroom for free if they register. With the financial support of the United Nations, it has done a good job and the quality of teaching can be guaranteed. (After the school was demolished by the Israeli army, classes were held in the open air, and the primary school students still wore school uniforms and sat neatly.) In addition, there are 10 museums, 80 social public libraries/rooms, 341 sports clubs and so on in the Palestinian residential area. Therefore, in this way, as long as education can keep up, a large population is not necessarily a disadvantage. Unlike India, the birth rate is high and the illiteracy rate is high. In terms of medical care, there are 52 hospitals and 597 health centers and clinics in this area, and the medical instruments and ambulance equipment are all international standards. Besides local doctors, there are also a large number of western volunteers or members of MSF, and the technical level is quite acceptable. Of course, as everyone thinks, the welfare of education and medical care in Palestine is indeed based on decades of continuous follow-up international assistance. For more than half a century, international aid has been one of the main sources of income for the Palestinian National Authority. For example, from 2008 to 2010, the Palestinian National Authority received $1.8 billion, $1.4 billion and $1.2 billion in financial aid each year, which has been reduced now, but it can still maintain about $1 billion in aid each year. Among them, the United States and the European Union are the largest donors. In addition, there are other rich Arab countries and the United Nations Office for the Coordination of Humanitarian Affairs that raise hundreds of millions of aid every year. Even in this &”;external assistance&”;, the enemy also accounts for a certain proportion. Most of them are paid directly to the Palestinian Authority in the form of returning customs duties or various kinds of humanitarian assistance, and each time they are paid in the unit of &”;100 million&”;. After all, it makes sense that people have to be compensated for seizing their territory. After that, for a few years, because the Palestinians were very stiff, they did not accept the &”;mediation&”; of the United States. As a punishment, the United States and Israel intentionally frozen part of their &”;humanitarian&”; aid to Palestine. As a result, the effect is obvious. According to CNN, the unemployment rate reached 27.1%, and the Gaza generation even reached more than 40%, which made many families with many children into difficulties. Of course, in addition to international assistance, BalakThe income sources of Stan people mainly include working in local enterprises, traditional agriculture, commerce, handicrafts, tourism and working income in other countries in the Middle East. Apart from being close, the most popular among working groups are Jordan, Lebanon, Kuwait and several local tyrants in the Arabian Peninsula. In fact, according to the actual control, the Palestinian area should be called &”;controlled area&”;. This hot land has occupied 90% of the area, and it is obviously impossible to &”;die of old age&”;. Therefore, objectively speaking, it has contributed to the development of Palestinian economy, whether intentionally or unintentionally. And people can understand that most of those who &”;do things&”; with their lives are barefoot and not afraid of wearing shoes. Once the Palestinians have a family and a rich life, they may be reluctant to toss about in death. To some extent, today&;s indirect control of the leverage of the Palestinian economy. The most typical thing is that the Palestinians do not have their own currency so far, and they use more currency (shekel) and Jordanian currency (dinar). In contrast, Kark has an absolute dominant position. In addition, Israeli enterprises directly entered the Palestinian market, vigorously expanded the industrial zone in the northern West Bank, engaged in infrastructure construction, etc., which also relatively eased the high unemployment rate in Palestine. In agriculture, 13.4% of the Palestinian population is engaged in agricultural production. However, most natural resources and the most fertile land areas are already under actual control. For example, in Gaza, 35% of the farmland is designated as a so-called &”;buffer zone&”;. While bulldozers are used from time to time to crush houses suspected of terrorists, planes are also sent to spray herbicides over the farmland in Gaza regularly, so as to do damage on one hand and construction on the other. In addition, a large number of Palestinians have entered the territory to work. Despite the endless security checks at the border every day, the so-called national hatred is obviously more attractive than the &”;longing for a better life&”; in view of the fact that the salary and environment of the work far exceed those of Palestine. Even many Palestinians have successfully immigrated and obtained passports, many of whom are Arabs who believe in religion. This is very smug, and even claims that &”;Arab citizens in China are the richest Arabs in the whole Middle East and enjoy the most people&;s benefits.&”; Two years ago, it was once necessary to build an isolation wall with no dead ends in the border areas and prohibit Palestinians from entering the country. Immediately, it was strongly opposed by Palestinians, and large-scale incidents occurred between the two sides. In the eyes of Palestinians, cutting off their way is almost equivalent to cutting off their way of life. All my articles are original, and I refuse others to plagiarize or reprint them at will. If I encounter such copycats as &”;White Deer unofficial history&”; and &”;People who persist in creating&”;, I will definitely complain to the end!
