Mohammed Al-Mashharawi - After his golden throat was slit through the local radio space and distinguished by many artistic talents such as imitating voices, acting, speech, short films and advertisements and his participation in several works of art in the field of theater, the graduate Malik Habboush (30 years) went to own quick drinks table after he did not find a work because of the circumstances that Gaza Strip has been going through since the beginning of the Israeli blockade and the Palestinian divide, and the resulting economic and humanitarian crises, those who embrace it and develop their various innate talents.
Habboush, who graduated from Al-Azhar University in 2010 from a public relations major, and then completed his studies to graduate from the Department of Radio and Television at Palestine University in 2014, resorted to volunteering in many media and technical institutions hoping to find a future job opportunity to provide for his life needs, but he did not find an opportunity to do so, The majority of these institutions argue about the financial crises they have been experiencing for years.
Malik says:´Job opportunities in Gaza are non-existent, and even if they do, they do not meet the needs of the graduate, because of the low salaries paid and their lack of alignment with the disciplines of the students they study at universities.
The unemployment rate in the Gaza Strip is 56%, with 290,000 unemployed, with the daily income of individuals estimated at less than $2 a day, and the proportion of graduates is estimated at more than 80%, according to the Palestinian Statistics Agency.
Habboush has a wide passion in the media, and presented two special programs of his production, which simulate the issues and concerns of the people, and the crises that plague the Palestinian society in Gaza, especially the graduates whose dreams evaporated and blurred vision in their future in the hope of conveying his message to officials in Gaza and Ramallah, as a category Deserves attention, as young people are the pillars of building and development in any country in the world.
Nearly two million Palestinians in Gaza are living in catastrophic economic, social and political conditions, according to the United Nations in its latest report on the Gaza Strip as a result of the continued Israeli blockade of Gaza for more than 13 years.
As a result of these conditions, Habboush, after closing all the doors for him by finding a job, went to open a quick drinks table, to develop it for a small restaurant called Street Food, to start by raising his personal expenses and supporting his family of five after his father died of cancer.
But the question that Habboush is asking is how long will the graduates and young people remain in this situation without any attention from officials? When will the problems of unemployment and poverty, which are putting a strong pressure on society and the aspirations of its youth, be put in place? Is the end of that approach to immigration and suicidal thoughts? Or keep young people exploited by many institutions under the pretext of financial crises, all according to Malik needs answers!!.
