Gaza Media Feel Economic Squeeze
(Electronic Intifada) Sarah Algherbawi - Gaza's Al-Quds TV announced in February that it was shutting its doors, unable to service a $7 million debt. Its 50 employees, who didn't receive full salaries during 2018, became unemployed. The Al-Kitab TV channel closed in 2017. Both it and Al-Quds were affiliated with Hamas. Ma'an News - seen as close to Fatah - shuttered its offices in Gaza [and froze its English website] in May. Npaa Press, affiliated with Islamic Jihad, closed in January. The Hamas-affiliated Palestinian Information Center has closed its physical office and slashed salaries for remaining employees by 50%.
