The Map of Gaza stripIs a coastal strip of land along the Mediterranean(we have sea), bordering Egypt on the south-west and Israel on the north and east. It is about 41 kilometers (25 mi) long, and between 6 and 12 kilometers (4–7.5 mi) wide, with a total area of 360(huge,isn’t it?)square kilometers (139 sq mi). The territory takes its name from Gaza, its main city(where I live). It has about 1.4 million residents, all Palestinians.

The Strip itself and its population are nominally governed by the Palestinian National Authority, though following the June 2007 battle of Gaza, actual control has fallen to the hands of Hamas’ Gaza Strip Government. Israel controls the strip’s airspace and offshore maritime access.sum up All Gaza ;)

Israel withdrawed it's troops from Gaza in 2005. All the Israeli settlements were evacuated but air strikes and siege are still being continued. So practically Gaza is still occupied.
