Q. Which region has been referred to as the ‘World’s Largest Open Air Prison’ by various international entities?
Answer:
Gaza
Notes: Gaza, a narrow territory between the Mediterranean Sea, Israel, and Egypt, with a population of over two million Palestinians, has been subject to an air, land, and sea blockade since 2007.
This extended period of occupation and the ongoing blockade have led to numerous references to Gaza as an open-air prison by various international entities, UN experts, rights groups, intellectuals, and even former British Prime Minister David Cameron.
