Located on the Mediterranean Sea bordering Egypt and Israel, the Gaza Strip is home to about 1,087,000 Palestinians. It is one of the most overcrowded areas in the world.
Agriculture is the main economic activity in the Gaza Strip.
Main agricultural products include dates and citrus fruits in addition to different types of vegetables. In 1994, the Oslo I accords were signed. In these accords, the city of Jericho and the majority of the Gaza Strip were returned to Palestinian control. However, parts of Gaza continued to be controlled by Israel. These areas include the settlements, the border of Gaza and Egypt, a security zone along the border of Gaza and Israel proper, and the Yellow area.
