GAZA, Palestinian Territory — Two years ago, Gaza resident Saleh Abu Serdanah took out a small loan in order to get married and start a family. Now I’m like a fugitive crook,” Abu Serdanah said. Allured by the idea, Abu Serdanah signed up for an offer of $2,500 through Farha Project, one of those companies, in 2017. Abu Serdanah agreed to repay the money in monthly payments over two years, but managed to pay only for five months. But due to the weak economy, there have been few workdays and he was unable to pay back his debt.
