Al- Khudari: 65.000 Homeless People In Gaza

Gaza, 6 Dzulhijjah 1437/8 September 2016 (MINA) – The Palestinian MP Jamal Al-Khudari called Wednesday on Egypt and Norway, as the sponsor of the donors’ conference, to put pressure on the Israeli occupation authority to allow construction materials’ access to Gaza.

In a press conference held in Gaza City, Al-Khudari said that Gaza Strip is still suffering from the effects of the Israeli war that ended two years ago, The Palestinian Information Center (PIC) reported.

About 65,000 persons are still homeless using uninhabitable mobile homes or living in rented houses, he pointed out.

According to his statement, the IOA continued restrictions on construction materials’ entry into the Strip would make its reconstruction an impossible mission.

Only 3,000 houses out of 12,000 totally destroyed houses were rebuilt since Israel’s 2014 aggression, while 950 totally destroyed factories are still in need of reconstruction, he continued.

On the other hand, Al-Khudari considered Israel’s approval to boost energy and water supplies to Gaza including by building a gas pipeline in coordination with Holland as propaganda messages.

He renewed calls for ending the Gaza siege and for opening all border crossings without any prior conditions.(T/P008/R07)
