Uprising deepens Israeli recession

Israel's recession deepened in 2002 due mainly to a 28-month-old Palestinian uprising against the Israeli occupation of the West Bank and Gaza.
Israel's economic output, or GDP, declined by 1.1% last year, the Central Bureau of Statistics said.
Bank of Israel governor David Klein warned last week the government risked losing control of the economy unless it addressed the budget deficit.

UN warns of Palestinian aid crisis

The United Nations has warned that its emergency food programme for Palestinian refugees in the West Bank and Gaza Strip is in jeopardy.
Unless donor countries come up with more money, it says, the refugees face further malnutrition and disease.
A Christian Aid report, published last month, said that three quarters of Palestinians now live on less than two dollars a day.
Official Palestinian figures put the unemployment rate at close to 70%.
Job opportunities in the West Bank and Gaza are almost non-existent.


半月くらい前の報道ですが、御紹介。

この２年半でイスラエルもパレスチナも失ったものは大きいね。
経済がここまで悪化すると、極端な行動に繋がりやすいし。。。

そろそろ両者とも、「この戦争に勝利する」のを諦めて
「この戦争を終わらす」道を探し出すべきではないか？ 　 と思う。
