As Palestinians prepare for their first national elections in two decades, many residents of Gaza say their priorities are jobs and security, following widespread destruction caused by the recent war with Israel.
The vote will be the first Palestinian national election held in 20 years, a gap that has left the Palestinian political system without a fresh popular mandate for an extended period amid ongoing division between Palestinian factions.
For many people in Gaza, the devastation left behind by the conflict has reshaped their immediate concerns, with residents expressing hope that elected leaders will focus on reconstruction, restoring basic services, and creating employment opportunities in an economy severely disrupted by the fighting.
Security is also a central concern for voters, many of whom hope a renewed political process could help stabilise the territory after a prolonged period of conflict and uncertainty.
The elections come at a pivotal moment for Palestinian politics, with the outcome likely to shape governance in Gaza and the broader Palestinian territories as rebuilding efforts continue.
