Gaza

Gaza refers to a coastal region located along the eastern Mediterranean Sea, primarily associated with the Gaza Strip, which is a Palestinian territory. The Gaza Strip is bordered by Israel to the north and east, Egypt to the southwest, and the Mediterranean Sea to the west. It has a population of nearly two million people and is one of the most densely populated areas in the world. Historically, Gaza has been a significant city and trade hub in the region, with roots tracing back to ancient civilizations. In modern terms, Gaza has been the focal point of various conflicts and political issues, particularly relating to the Israeli-Palestinian conflict, leading to ongoing humanitarian challenges and international attention. The term “Gaza” can also refer to the governance of the area, which has been under the control of Hamas since 2007.
