Gaza’s identity crisis deepens as documents lose recognition

Thousands of Palestinians in Gaza have lost passports and identity documents during more than two years of war, leaving many unable to access banking, travel or basic services. Gaza's civil registry system has been severely damaged by Israeli bombardment, while newly issued documents are reportedly not fully recognised by banks linked to the Palestinian Monetary Authority. Israel's restrictions on the movement of documents have further compounded the crisis, blocking some students from travelling abroad to pursue education.

Al Jazeera's Tareq Abu Azzoum reports from Deir el-Balah, Gaza.
