We assess the impact of Israeli occupation on the socioeconomic conditions in the Palestinian Territory.

UN General Assembly resolution 77/22 requests UN Trade and Development (UNCTAD) to report on economic development in the Occupied Palestinian Territory, including East Jerusalem, and the economic costs of the Israeli occupation for the Palestinian people.

For nearly four decades, we have also supported the Palestinian people through policy-oriented research, capacity-building and technical cooperation projects in partnership with public and private sector institutions and civil society.
