According to GDP per capita, before the war Gaza was at $3500/year, while Egypt was at $3700/year. Which says that Egyptians are probably better off than Gazans. Even before the problems of the blockade, lack of electricity, and the current disruptions of war conditions.

So no, people in Gaza are not better off than people in Egypt. Though they are closer than I would have guessed.

You're right but the comparison is fascinating: https://www.worlddata.info/country-comparison.php?country1=E...

What is really interesting is that unemployment rate for PL is 25.7pc vs Egypt's 7pc. So the average income for PL is higher! 4610 v 4100

Also interesting is that PL has a higher life expectancy.

Sadly, both are very corrupt.
