✝️ Christian population in Gaza — before and after Hamas takeover in 2007 – approximately 5,000.
✝️ Christian population in Gaza as of October 2024 — before Hamas attacked Israel and killed 1,200 Israelis and foreign nationals (including 46 U.S. citizens in Israel) = 800–1,000.
Under Hamas control, all measurable indicators of quality of life have fallen to crisis levels.:
- Economy & Jobs (High unemployment, nearly zero private sector)
- Public Services (Dependent on aid, poor infrastructure)
- Medical Collapse: No water, hospitals failing
- Displacement & Housing
- Health & Sanitation (Backlogged services, disease risk)
- Famine, disease outbreaks, water crisis
- Social & Political Life (Authoritarian rule, suppressed protests)
Gaza has been economically isolated, politically repressed, and structurally fragile. Recent blockades and military actions have catastrophically worsened these conditions due to an unprovoked attack on October 7, 2024, which killed 1,200 Israelis and foreign nationals (including 46 U.S. citizens in Israel). Regardless of how you may want to change the facts, Hamas attacked Israel.
Here is just one crucial data point: the unemployment rate in Gaza before October 7, 2024, hovered at around 45% (jumping to hyper-peaks above 80% following the invasion). In comparison, unemployment in Israel during the same period averaged between 3.0% and 3.15%, with a record low of 2.60% in October 2024.
The unfortunate truth is that Hamas is an evil organization that has no desire for a peaceful resolution with Israel or Christianity. The belief that a ceasefire with Hamas still in a governance role in Gaza is overly naive. Peace in Gaza will only be achieved without Hamas.
