ILO: Workers In Israeli-Occupied Gaza And West Bank Suffering

http://www.laborradio.org/node/8626

By Doug Cunningham

The International Labor Organization says poverty for Arab workers in Israeli-occupied Middle East territories is growing as the employment situation degrades. In an annual report, the ILO says the economic plight of Palestinian workers is deteriorating. Working poverty is on the rise with just one in three workers employed, while 80 percent of the people in the occupied territories are dependent on food aid. Forty percent of people in Gaza are living in extreme poverty � 19 percent in the West Bank.
