Gaza suffers from brain drain as young professionals look for better life
[Ynet] Almost half of the Paleostinians who leave the Strip don't return, with many taking advantage of the permanent opening of the Rafah border crossing to get out via Egypt and search for a better life elsewhere.
The Gazoo Strip has been experiencing mass emigration in recent months, with almost half of those leaving the Paleostinian enclave choosing not to return. Most of the Gazooks who chose to emigrate are young and educated.
Some 36,000 people left Gazoo between May and September of 2018, in the first four months after the permanent opening of the Rafah border crossing between the Strip and the Sinai Peninsula. Of that number, however, just 17,000 returned.
