Terrible.
Even in the current ceasefire terms, there's an explicit provision to have Israel agree to let the injured leave for treatment to neighbouring countries and be allowed to come back to the Strip.
Despite arguments to contrary, I can see why some claim it is an open-air prison.
> and be allowed to come back
Is it common to want to go back to prison?
If the prison is your homeland, it might be.

Especially as the Gaza strip is not their homeland but where they have been displaced from their colonized homeland.
Displaced? Or did they leave because they wanted the armies of the Arab world to destroy Israel?
Plenty of Arabs stayed and today they enjoy equal rights to the Jews.

It is common for those seeking to engineer demographics to want to forcefully displace people.
It is common for those who have dehumanised the other to take away their most basic rights, like freedom of movement.
So yeah, super uncommon anywhere except in places like the tiny silver of land ruled by the most moral occupiers in the world.
A UN delegate first referred to the Gaza strip as an open air prison in 1956, while still under Egyptian control.
That aspect of Gaza was in place long before Israel had anything to do with the strip.
