Gaza Strip
The Arab town of Gaza, lying near the Mediterranean coast some 80km/50mi south of Tel Aviv, is the primary center of the Gaza Strip, a stretch of territory 40km/25mi long and up to 10km/6mi across. It was occupied by Israel following the the Six Day War but since 1997 the area became part of the Palestinian territory and in 2007 Hamas took control of the area.
In the Gaza Strip much of the population live in refugee camps in appalling conditions. In the busy and noisy town of Gaza the most interesting building is the Great Mosque, originally a 13th century Crusader church.
