The Gaza Strip is a strip of land that is on the eastern coast of the Mediterranean Sea that borders Egypt and Israel. Estimated population in 2011 was 1.7 million people. The population is predominantly Sunni Muslim. On this beach a beautiful kite ceremony is being held. It is hard to believe that conflict happen almost everyday here.
Why has this conflict been going on for all these years? Who actually occupies The Gaza Strip and why after capturing the Gaza Strip in 1967 from Egypt did Israel withdraw. There has been many Peace Treaties and Agreements signed. But, the bombing and killings continue on an almost a daily basis. Killing innocent people and children. Who is at fault and why? The people living in the Gaza Strip are also divide on who is to blame.
At this time I beleive Israel controls Gaza Strip's northern borders, as well as its territorial waters and airspace. Egypt controls the southern boarder, which was an agreement between Isreal and Egypt.
