      Gaza has been under blockade since 2006. I gaza was a state then they would have been at war since 2006 because a blockade is an act of war.

      Gaza is under Israeli control even though Israel does not have any soldiers there. Under the Geneva Conventions, Israel is the occupying power. This is recognised by most governments in the world, the UN and all human rights organisations.

      It has been economically blockaded since then and has been regularly attacked by Israel.

        Because they keep attacking Israel, yeah, that’s why there’s been a blockade.
