Gaza Strip, Exclave in southwestern Palestine
The Gaza Strip extends 41 kilometers along the Mediterranean Sea, with a width ranging from 6 to 12 kilometers and a total area of 365 square kilometers.
After the 1948 war, Gaza remained outside Israeli control, falling under Egyptian administration until 1967, when Israel took control during the Six-Day War.
Palestinians in Gaza maintain their traditions through embroidery, pottery making, and traditional food preparation, with markets selling local handicrafts and agricultural products.
The Mediterranean coastal location provides opportunities for fishing, though maritime access remains restricted due to security measures and territorial limitations.
Gaza contains archaeological remains dating back 4000 years, including ancient harbors, Byzantine churches, and traditional Islamic structures scattered across the territory.
