Have you ever wondered on how the life inside the land of war, Gaza City looks like? It seems like the war has made the people of the country appear to be some kind of similar lifestyle to those poor souls in India or Bangladesh. Or maybe worst. It is all started when the Israel blockade Gaza since 2007. The blockade preventing almost all goods, especially building materials from entering Gaza, combined with the price of smuggled goods from Egypt; demand for stone to be used in cement mixing has skyrocketed. Thus, the event has restricted the development of economy in Gaza.
