Gaza: 95% of factories are closed, 93% of water is polluted http://www.jnoubiyeh.com/2010/06/btselem-gaza-95-of-factories-are-closed.html

Most of Gaza's factories have closed and its water is polluted as a result of Israel's siege policy, according to a new report being released today by the Israeli Human Rights group – B'tselem.The siege policy has "led to economic collapse in Gaza," B'tselem noted in a 44-page report (PDF) that looked at Gaza, the West Bank and east Jerusalem during the period from January 2009 to the end of April 2010.
