"description": "<p data-sourcepos=\"1:1-1:274\">Gaza is a narrow strip of land on the Mediterranean Sea, bordered by Egypt to the south and Israel to the north and east. It is about 25 miles long and 5 miles wide, with a population of over 2 million people, making it one of the most densely populated places in the world.</p>\r\n<p data-sourcepos=\"3:1-3:294\">The Gaza Strip is one of the two Palestinian territories, alongside the West Bank. It was under Israeli occupation from 1967 to 2005, when Israel withdrew its military forces and settlers from the territory. However, Israel continues to control Gaza's borders, airspace, and maritime territory.</p>\r\n<p data-sourcepos=\"5:1-5:281\">The political situation in Gaza is complex and volatile. The territory is governed by Hamas, an Islamist militant group that won the Palestinian parliamentary elections in 2006. Hamas is considered a terrorist organization by Israel, the United States, and other Western countries.</p>\r\n<p data-sourcepos=\"7:1-7:289\">The Israeli-Palestinian conflict has had a devastating impact on Gaza. The territory has been under a blockade by Israel and Egypt since 2007, which has severely restricted the movement of people and goods. The blockade has also crippled the Gazan economy and led to a humanitarian crisis.</p>\r\n<p data-sourcepos=\"9:1-9:225\">In recent years, there have been several rounds of fighting between Hamas and Israel. The most recent conflict, in October 2023, was the deadliest since 2014 with thousands killed on both sides.</p>\r\n<p data-sourcepos=\"11:1-11:237\">The political situation in Gaza is further complicated by the rivalry between Hamas and Fatah, the dominant political party in the West Bank. The two parties have failed to reconcile, despite numerous attempts to form a unity government.</p>",
