This has been one place which has been consistently in the news since I was born. And always for the same reason. This Palestinian city has a very simple pronunciation - it is pronounced as guzzer (to rhyme with buzzer). If you want to be more correct, you can go with guh-zah. The 'g' sound actually comes from the throat like the 'kh' in the Scottish word 'loch'. If you can read Hindi, this would read as ग़ज़ा. And if you can read Arabic, this would read as غزة. But please avoid the gah-zah that the Indian media seems to be so in love with.
