This video was 25% turning trash into cash and 75% eye-opening about how impossible it is to live a decently human life there (and this was before the current conflict)
The financial divide there is ridiculous.53% poverty rate. They have abject poverty and multimillionaires living in mansions. Their tunnel smuggling economy certainly made Gaza a haven for corruption.The financial divide there is ridiculous. They have abject poverty and multimillionaires living in mansions.

Yeah, it sucks that the billions of Jew Hate money Hamas gets from overseas never actually does anything for the grass roots Arabs of the Gaza. I guess the Gaza got what they wanted when they voted in Hamas, total focus on providing cannon fodder for Jew Haters of the World to attack Israel with. Too bad the Gaza Arabs don’t spend some of that money treating their sewage and cleaning up the environmental disasters they create in the Gaza. And no, the Gaza isn’t the most populated square footage in the World. Not even close, sadly the suffering they experience is brought on by themselves, and their Arab/Islamist Supremacism. Oh well. Never underestimate human stupidity.
@@nero71845 Apartheid with arabic muslim israeli representation in the kneset. Apartheid also means that minority controls over majority last time I checked there are more jewish people than non jewish. Hamas is a democraticly elected gonveror of gaza that chose to militarize instead of investing into their own people. Never leave school.
I love them also, but nothing will get resolved until we can get adults on both sides that don’t believe in fairytale religions and some ,mythical sky daddy. When will we move forward as a society?
It is humbling to see the resilience and resourcefulness of the people of the Gaza strip during their time and environment of hardship. I pray for a brighter future for all in that region.
@@MadridistaMadridReal yes you have it in your country too.... you should thank the usa man... they are the real big satan ... they pulling the strings and approving each decision . israelis doesnt have a say . and im as an israeli wouldnt mind having these gaza people having a brighter future , i dont hate them . its just demonic federations and demonic solutions giving to most western infected nations . thanks .... have a bright day
Literally not that special. They are using technology developed in the West and East Asia, funded by massive amounts of international aid. They have a middle-income HDI yet receive more aid per capita than the billions of people they are richer than. Their "hardship" is not being able to murder Jews or other indigenous people they hate because they thought their ancestors conquering and colonizing the place would make it theres forever.
Imagine what those people can achieve when truly given the resources and an opportunity. Thank you Insider for shedding an unbiased and a hopeful light with your story.
"Unbiased" The video did not even mention the role of far-right nationalism in the history of Arab-occupied Gaza, from the earliest anti-indigenous violence to the latest randomized rocket fire at civilian populations. Also, literally not that special. They are using technology developed in the West and East Asia, funded by massive amounts of international aid.
@@ravailsandhu4397 well,, then stay out of the issue and commenting on something you already have a biased opinion about and know nothing of its history.
Thank you Business Insider for this video showing what its like to live in Gaza, the situation those people have been put in, and how resilient and resourceful those people are.
They could have been is a much better state. They chose it because they , like ISIS and the Germans before, were indoctrinated by Nazi-Islamic ideology. They don't care about well being. They care about pushing the Jews out of the Jewish homeland. They should leave, The Nazis will Leave.
@@xXLgtscopsXxYou do know that the "misfired" rocket was by israel right? The proof they gave literally proved that. They showed a conversation that's was supposed by Hamas people and the place they said the rockets were fired didn't match with the place Israel said they were fired from. Then they showed footage that supposedly shows how the rockets are being fired over the hospital, but footage from a different angel showed that those rockets are on the other side of where Israel was saying they were. Then you also have the take twitter video with the misfired rocket, which well it wasn't fake, but it was from 2022. Israel removed the video, but left the comment that it was misfired rocket based on... a video they themselves admitted was old. So I would suggest you find reliable sources of information instead of MSM.
Yep. I've been advocating for over a decade. I'm ashkenazi Jewish, and I get called self hating. There's lots of Jews who support palestine. The problem is Zionism , not Judaism.
Nope. You just playing dumb. Had they wanted to live like normal humans, they would have. They CHOSE to live like that - as long as they keep flighting the Jews. They elected Hamas by 70% vote. They teach their children to admire death. This is not their soil. And they should leave. We had enough of them.
It's really unfair to call them "terrorists". These people are facing certain slow death, so it's better to die fighting back than to submit. Too many examples in history of groups of people being oppressed and giving up on fighting back and today they've been practically destroyed.
Nobody is calling them terrorists, its Hamas who are the terrorists. They oversee everything that goes on in the gaza strip and any aid that gets sent there goes through them first to be turned into weapons. if missiles, bombs and mortars were to stop being fired out of gaza, they wouldn't be in this situation.
@@MrMoo272 lmao dus some wacky ass zionist propaganda. hamas was created for one reason -- palastinian liberation. to help palastinians overcome israeli occupation. palastinians have 2 options. be controled as to everything they do - and live "peacefully". the type of big brother shit by israel. or rebel. which is hamas. etc. ofc hamas prolly governs gaza, but im pretty sure, even the gazans, and the rest of palastinians would much rather support hamas in ending this occupation than to live under israel controling every aspect of their life -- even its border to egypt. freedom is important to humans in general. they would sacrifice their own welbeing to achieve a state of freedom. its literally what the US is founded upon.
@@MrMoo272 They lands were illegally occupied through British colonialism. War crimes, and massacres were committed on mass scale against them. Then, there's was the 2 state solution-a hope for peace. Then, Israel proceeded to illegally occupy the West bank despite international agreements. Then, they've disrespected their places of worship, disrespected both Muslims and Christians worshippers alike. They then have imprisoned Palestinians in Gaza; controlling their food, electricity and water supply, thus facing certain death. After all that, you expect them NOT to fight back? You can't be serious! If you disagree with this, then there has to be some type of "Self-deception" motivated by religious and racial biases to ignore the obvious atrocities being committed by Israel against Palestinians.
and all the tech seems to come from very poor countries I am amazed by what can be made by recycling trash unfortunately the USA has way to many rules and regulations to foster some of this innovation tiles made from plastic bottles , food utensils made from coconuts , beautiful sculpture made from old flip flops , and these mats !
It's amazing that today's civilization can allow this to happen and what's even more amazing is how they can survive this long and still maintain order and productivity
1. Gaza should be blockaded until it removes the far-right terrorist organization from power ("Hamas"). 2. Most civilian goods and services are exempt from the blockade. 3. They literally receive more aid per capita than most of the world's desperate despite having a HDI of a middle-income country.
@@zedianavizora2041 Support Israel not because what they did this to Palestinians, but because they defended themselves against terrorists. If they don't kill, they will be killed. That's how Mohammed also operated in his life before Islam became organised.
@@zedianavizora2041 What Israel “Did”? Oh you mean, by not rolling over and giving a group of entitled/privileged Arabs more opportunities to kill them and let this same group thieve from Israel? Dang, other Arabs just killed them when these adherents to “Palestinianism” acted out, and never allowed them Land to be autonomous upon. Too bad Hamas’ only goal is to kill Jews and destroy Israel.
These people are going to develop the knowledge and technologies we need to clean our shit up. Respect to you all in Gaza! I hope things get better for you.
You do realize all the technologies in the video were developed in the West and East Asia. These are businesses we have all around the world. It's decades old. They are going to develop nothing. Arab states are far less innovative and productive per capita than Israel, even the ones with apartheid to exploit a 90% non-citizen majority (UAE, Qatar, etc). Why are people such apologists lol.
@@jeddavis dude don't talk about something you know shit about....they are literally being oppressed by Israel that took their land...Imagine in modern day and age what Hitler was doing to Jews they are literally doing to Gaza and Palestine people...the only thing they don't use is gas chamber on those people because then the world would really have to react to what Israel is doing...it's not even funny how people have wrong view of the whole situation there...Israel army is literally killing innocent people there every day for decades...forget the recent attacks on them...imagine treating people like trash and think they will never retaliate...I don't support Hamas but I also don't support Israel and their genocide plans to make Gaza their territory finally...what disgusting "human" beings...
@@jeddavis There is no Hamas in the west bank and they still suffer under Israeli tyranny. There is no Hamas in Jerusalem and Israel is ethnically cleansing the Arabs there. Israel is the problem. Always has been.
It is heartbreaking to see the effects this war. But I can't help but awe their ingenuity. It's good to see that at least some people know how to recycle properly, unlike many companies from the West...
Even before the war Palestinians lived almost worse than animals. The war there was inevitable and everyone saw it coming, and I really hope Palestine if freed from its struggle after this.
So happy to see that the realities of war do not stop them from living life to the fullest they possibly can. How beautiful they can do what’s needed to survive and be fairly happy and resourceful!
unless of course you dont follow the rules of islam, are gay, a woman with opinions in general, want Hamas to care for you instead of buying rockets, etc
those are all propaganda talking points. palestinians are not barbaric savages or terrorists, they are victims of Zionism and colonial oppression. open your eyes, shame on you.@@florianluo8131
@@florianluo8131 bro israel is an invading occupation, occupied people have resisted in 100% of the times in history,. i think that Hamas militants are courageous even though i don't agree that they have killed civilians , also israel have been killing civilians for years, and tbh if someone took over my home and brought his people with him i would attack them because they know it's my home and agreed to join the invader in it AND Muslim nations believe that naked women and gays corrupt society and they don't want them between them, which i as a westerner respect that and i can see why, if you wanted to be gay you can go to a gay country in the west and you can do your thing.
@@B-ry7db When schools and hospitals have been bombed, when innocent children have been killed, and when their plastic recycling center was attacked - the terror is on both sides. Two wrongs don't make a right, and the violence and suffering they have endured has fueled a rage within them. To decide the biggest offender, you have to look at objective means - like which side killed more people.
@@pwright1687 In order to have humanity towards a fellow human is it a mandatory factor that all cultures need to have the exact same parameters for every single thing? If that's the case I wonder how all these cultures managed to coexist for thousands of years. As much as I support LGBTQ rights I don't understand this new concept emanating mainly from the USA & UK that either you agree with us on everything or you are excluded and ostracised. This is a very fundamentalist view and perhaps very similar to the schools of thought that these "progressives" are trying to criticize I think we need to understand that you can't shame entire populations into agreeing with you on everything. Moreover if you expect progressive thoughts from other cultures maybe start by treating them as equals and fellow humans first and only then initiate a discussion. Everyone should have a chair in the table. You can't arrive there with your 1000 ft tall moral high ground and shame the rest of the population .
Don't vote in people who's political mandate is to destroy the state next door (which is way more powerful than yours), maybe if they weren't so dangerous they wouldn't need walling up :)
@@coolgaga77 Walled up? You mean like a country's border? All countries have borders, if I wanted to go from Spain to Portugal, I'd have to go by a border check point and enter legally... Gaza is not special or unordinary in this regard. Also, doesn't really matter the reason the dangerous, we just need to know they are dangerous and neutralise the danger :)
@@blazednlovinitSchengen countries in Europe don't have border check points. Traveling from Spain to Portugal would be seamless. Additionally, Gaza is not a separate country. Gaza is an occupied province in Israel. As the occupiers, Israel are required by law to provide for Gazans and govern them as they would other provinces. Instead Israel has imposed a blockage since 2007, disallowing Gazans from moving in or out of the province. In every aspect it is a jail. In every aspect, the Gazan people are freedom fighters. Occupation is a war crime. Denial of basic goods is a war crime. Forced displacement is a war crime. Bombing hospitals is a war crime. Genocide is a war crime. These are all crimes Israel is guilty of and the world is complicit in. Free Palestine 🇵🇸✊
@@universityvideos8167 As far as I can recall, Israel and Gaza are not part of the schengen agreement, and aren't even part of the EU. Gaza is only being occupied now because Gaza essentially wants to eradicate the Jewish people.
Comparing this and a video recently released by france24 about israeli settlers eagerly waiting to "move back" into gaza. Siiiigh. Even listening to that settler alone is enough to understand the root problem of this conflict.
Very inspiring. From problems creates paths to innovation. Love to Gaza people from 🇮🇳🇮🇳. We must never forget our resourcefulness. There is always something to build❤
Respect to Insider Business for this insightful video! Also, respect to Palestinians for making the best of a miserable situation. Peace, justice and love to Palestine!
Imagine being the world's biggest open-air prison and the most densely populated region on the planet, constantly under threat of being bombed and your entire life being demolished, having a draconian besieagement banning most materails to enter or exist, no electricity most of the day and drinking water being very scarce (just to name a few hardships the occupation is placing on them), and yet being THAT innovative!!! So much respect to the people of Gaza!..
I have no respect for them. If they want they can follow the way of Egypt and Jordan and renounce terror and they won’t have to deal with this. Instead they focus on killing peoples.
This is why Allah said the human being is the best of his creation. It’s amazing what a human can do in any situation Beautiful Free Palestine 🇵🇸❤ strongest people on earth
not many factories have a 3rd of their workplace blown up and continue functioning. This is an incredible example of perseverance in the face of hardship
Well... their situation is truly awful, but I hope their ingenuity will spread to the rest of the world and help us all be better to the environment. Kind of terrible that some of the people we treat the worst may save us all one day.
Ah yes because using Western technology to make rugs and egg cartons, that people have been doing around the world for *decades* is somehow going to save us. No, these people are not going to save us. They literally fire rockets at one of the most productive populations in the world. This is just a small business that Insider is trying to make seem revolutionary.
I think there are more advanced degrees per capita in Gaza than any major city in the West. We are proud of you, rising from the ashes, always stronger mashaallah ♥️
@@TheShalalai They don't want to kill eachother. Also if Hamas is the source of this . Why the people in west bank facing the same thing although there is no hamas there ?!? It's even worse in west bank ! Their land is being taken from them piece by piece everyday !
It's quite amazing how these people manage to create entire industries using just waste, old machines, and hand tools. Everyone here works so hard and is so resourceful. Just imagine how successful they'd be without Israel's blockade.
Thank you Insider for this peek into the lives of Palestinians living in the Gaza Strip. It was an eye-opening video indeed. Please do more videos like this looking into the economics of countries in apartheid or conflict, instead of multiple videos on the US military.
In Gaza, the people there are innovative with their waste products. They don't throw things away, rather, they make use of it until it is considered necessary for them to do so.
Yeah, I mean it relieves some of the shortasges, but as you can see on those landfills this half assed ways of recycling is super hazardous for the evironment.... I am sure the water 1:30 that is just send to the ground is also not that good....
I’m not sure currently, however Canada has always used recycled paper for egg cartons. I have no clue why in Japan and other countries why they would want to use plastic.
Idk about other countries but in post soviet countries we keep containers and reuse them Like egg containers we keep and give to the chicken farmers and then buy eggs We also dont use plastic bags we use felt bags for it Jars also we use for jam etc I dont understand people who throw everything awayand then buy the same things they threw away
@@ElSuperNova23 No. "It takes 1,004 gallons of water to produce 1,000 paper bags and 58 gallons of water to produce 1,500 plastic bags. Plastic grocery bags consume 71% less energy during production than paper bags."
Someone wont talk about the pogroms in the 1920's before Israel existed. International organaziations were the reason for the previous status quo. A two state solution wasnt just a false hope, but misguided truth. Hamas got to power and was given aid to misappropriate (U.S, E.U, U.N, even Bibi), the international community effectively gave psuedo soveriegnty of Gazans to a corrupt, Islamist terrorist group. Noone in their right mind can excuse the reality that Palestinians are lead by those who either seek greed, corruption, hatred, and power. Abbas, Arafat, Hexbollah, etc. have all been allowed to grow fat with fungible aid while giving none to the "oppressed" that you'll only talk about ideologically instead of rationally. Also, "disrespected both Muslims and Christians"... I missed the part where everyone assumed religious toleration was a thing when we all know its not true. Get rid of terrorists who's literal call of life is an ideology where Jesus comes back Muslim in Gaza to wipe out the Jews (Israelites). The Palestinian "cause" is a trope: used as some moral stick by the new whose who in power games. Whether it be invading Israel, self-enrichment, terroris, etc. it seems the only people who have never benefited is the average Palestinian. There's a reason why theres hundreds of thousands of generational Palestinian refugees in other middle eastern copuntries. It seems like the only ones who get out end up "leading" Palestinians from mansions in Qatar or the U.K.
Great video. Thank you for sharing. Important to mention that, even with access to the sea, Gazans are only allowed to travel 9 nautical miles in boats thanks to Israeli restrictions. Going any further is prohibited by Israeli law and subjects Gazans to having their boats shot at. Just another way in which the occupation keeps Palestinians in Gaza trapped from every side.
And the UN allowed such restrictions to deprived a population the size of Gaza, fully control by Israel, which before 75 years ago, did not exist. Why are these Muslim less important than the xinjiang Muslim?
@@WorldCitizenW Well it all comes down to who the US and the EU support. In this case they support Israel and in the other case they want to harm China, so they make up crap, which has been proven to be fake. What's really funny though is that the leader of the US Uyghur movement was literally in change of torturing Uyghurs in Guantanamo. They are literally too lazy to even try to make it seem real, but why bother when people fall for propaganda so easily. I usually won't bother mentioning this, but I think I should also note that I'm not Chinese or even remotely connected to China. I'm a white guy from Eastern Europe, who just knows what's really happening, hence why I commented and also my nickname is from a Korean manhwa and not Chinese related.
You may destroy their buildings but you will never be able to break their souls or their faith ❤️ The real warriors, they are the land they are the trees they are the seeds.. Long live Palestine always and forever 🇵🇸
Respect for the people who make the environment better. Trash recycling is a responsibility of Hamas because it rules this region. Also, Hamas spends huge amounts of cement to build tunnels and produces rockets. Looks like the problem is not a lack of resources but management.
Heavily propagandized according to the dictates of the local Hamas government. To listen to this telling, you would have no clue about the relentless Gaza terrorism across its borders, nor about Egypt's blockade of the borders, nor about the Gazan people's free choice to elect a Hamas government (and its subsequent actions) in the last free election Gaza ever had. No, according to this, everything is Israel's fault and Hamas and Egypt are blameless. A factory was bombed? No reason given why it was chosen as a target; no mention of fabrication of weapons and rockets. No power? No mention of Gaza's rockets destroying Israeli power lines feeding Gaza, nor about Gazan Hamas operatives shooting at Israeli linemen trying to fix them. No concrete? No mention of how it is used to line and structurally support infiltration tunnels built to attack the Israelis. When helium is supplied to work in Gaza hospital MRI's, it is diverted to be used in arson and explosive-laden balloons sent to Israel. The next time Insider does a report on Gaza medical care, it will unquestioningly spout the Hamas line that Israel deprives Gaza of helium for no reason.
"OO,, These poor Nazis.. Killed by these awful jews".. F' them, They have no right to stay in Israeli soil. The Jews gave them tens of opportunities to have normal life. They chose the Nazi-Islamic ideology. They act by its standards. Time for them to leave. They have no right to stay. they have 20 Arab states + vast Islamic world to live in. OUT!
<a href="#" class="seekto" data-time="34">0:34</a> graphic purposefully ignores the blockade of Gaza from Egypt. Shameful propaganda from Business Insider
just sad. Imagine this is one month ago... just imagine.... what is it now. I swear once this ceasefire is over, I hope the arab countries gather together, and fund to rebuild gaza and help these business. Such amazing recycle of trash, turned into a splendid useful item. Resort World Sentosa should have this man and many others to build a sea aquarium structure and should be displayed. This is an amazing amazing, upcycle.
This video is very important for a simple reason! It rehumanizing the people of Gaza and presents them as a human beings such as you and me! And they are worthy of having a life STOP the genocide in Gaza
