The Gaza Strip has been described as the world's largest prison camp.
It's run by the militant group Hamas and is home to a million and a half Palestinians, most of them under 30 years old.
For years it has been blockaded by Israel, which the UN says is illegal under international law.
Israel says it will only lift the blockade if Hamas recognises Israel's right to exist, renounces violence and releases a captured Israeli soldier.
Newsbeat's Duncan Crawford travelled to Gaza to see what life is like on both sides of the Israeli border.
