Gaza voters want jobs and security as Palestinian elections approach

In Deir el-Balah, Gaza, 24-year-old Ahmad Mohsen, who once dreamed of working in a hospital before Israel’s war on Gaza, has had to change his path after volunteering at Al-Aqsa Martyrs Hospital. With unemployment around 80% and Gaza’s economy devastated by blockade and conflict, he now prioritizes stable employment and security. Ahead of the upcoming Palestinian legislative elections on November 28, Mohsen wants candidates to address issues such as unemployment, security, housing, education, and healthcare.
