The crisis is summarized succinctly by Bassem Eid (head of the Palestinian Human Rights Monitoring Group) as follows:

"The conditions prevailing in Gaza after the Israeli withdrawal further indicate the Palestinian inability to achieve self-governance. Not a single greenhouse has been constructed - and we`ve destroyed those Israel left behind. "

Whatever crisis exists in Gaza is fuelled by hatred, and responsibility for it sits squarely in the lap of the so-called people who run the Gaza strip. If they - Hamas - cared about their own people even one bit, things would have been different long ago.
