Trump’s controversial plan was so cruel and cruel that it was met with strong regional and international reactions, and even Washington’s Arab allies clearly opposed it and the only supporter of the Zionist regime.
Since the Gaza Strip and the Zionist regime have a long history of war and conflict, this beam has been repeatedly destroyed and then somewhat reconstructed, but this time due to the enormous volume of devastation and the Gaza warfare during the 6 months of war. It will be from previous periods and there are many problems. It should also be paid to the nature of the political, demographic, and geopolitical conditions of the Gaza Strip in the present period compared to previous wars, including the Year 1 and 2 wars.

How is the state of destruction of buildings and infrastructure in Gaza ?
Gaza has widespread destruction that is the result of the devastating Israeli war. This war has caused a dark shadow on the daily lives of the people and has brought many challenges and problems for the Palestinians.
When we talk about the destruction of residential buildings, we should know that more than 2 % of Gaza buildings are completely or largely damaged; The damage in some cases is so severe that it is not possible to live in these residential units. This situation has displaced hundreds of thousands of Palestinian families who have lost their homes and are now without shelter.
Despite the urgent need to rebuild, the process of entry of equipment and machinery into the Gaza Strip is still facing serious problems. Meanwhile, according to the ceasefire agreement between the Hamas movement and the Zionist regime, which was achieved by international mediation, the necessary assistance and equipment was to enter Gaza. However, so far this equipment and aids are very limited and do not even meet the necessary needs.
The Israeli occupation regime continues to impose strict restrictions on the entry of building materials and equipment needed, which has made any real attempt to rebuild the Gaza Strip and complicated the humanitarian crisis. Today, the municipality of Gaza needs urgent action to ensure the entry of equipment and materials in order to pour humanitarian aid to the area of the Gaza Strip.
How is drinking water status? Is this problem solved by the beginning of the ceasefire?
When we talk about real crises and living conditions in Gaza, we must say that the water supply system in Gaza is severely damaged. The occupation regime has destroyed two water wells and four main central tanks in the city. In addition, the waterfront facility in the north of the Gaza Strip transferred to the city has been disabled. Therefore, the water supply status in Gaza is very critical.
more than 4,000 meters of destruction from the water supply network that has caused a severe crisis in supplying drinking water. Despite the ceasefire, this problem has not even been resolved in part. Many residential areas in Gaza and various neighborhoods also face severe shortage of drinking water and water needed for daily use.
This crisis has been exacerbated due to the failure of pumping stations, water wells, as well as severe fuel shortages to launch disabled facilities. In addition, the stoppage of the power plant and the complete cut of energy by Israel has led to a severe shortage of energy sources since the beginning of the war.
The Gaza Municipality has repeatedly called for power generators, emergency energy sources, solar panels and batteries needed to set up these installations, but none of these requests have been considered and the situation is still critical.
The status of hospitals, mosques, schools and markets is the same?
Many vital facilities in Gaza have been deliberately and systematically destroyed by the occupation regime. Dozens of hospitals and medical centers have been destroyed and out of service, which has led to a severe shortage of health care in a very critical situation. Alongside this tragedy, the environment is also serious, with the number of injured being on the rise and diseases are expanding due to poor health and livelihood conditions.
In addition to hospitals, Israel has destroyed dozens of mosques, schools and markets. Many of these places that are still in place have suffered heavy damage, and this has had a profound effect on people’s daily lives. The geographical changes of the city are also evident, as residents of the eastern and marginal areas have moved to downtown and water resources. This has created great challenges for the municipality and municipal services teams.
Gaza hospitals now operate with their full capacity, but with severe drug shortages, medical equipment and lack of facilities, especially after Israel’s main hospitals were destroyed. Schools have also become the accommodation centers of thousands of displaced, and the commercial markets are no longer the same as before. These markets are now on the streets and crowded areas, and due to the widespread destruction of infrastructure and roads, they are no longer able to provide services as before.
Reconstruction of these facilities is now an urgent and fundamental human necessity that requires rapid and sustainable international support and world organizations to return to many areas of Gaza.
Due to the cold wave in Gaza, asylum seekers in camps, housing centers and tents?
Refugee conditions in camps and accommodation centers in this cold air and influenced by the waves of rainfall are literally catastrophic and very difficult. With the onset of winter and the continuation of adverse weather conditions, thousands of families live in tents that are neither protected against the cold and rain of the summer.
conditions are extremely difficult and people face severe blankets, winter clothes and heating. In addition, rainwater leakage into the accommodation has doubled the problems of the refugee and exposed them to various diseases, including respiratory, gastrointestinal and skin diseases. This situation occurs while insufficient health care is available.
Today, the Gaza Municipality calls on the international community and humanitarian organizations to meet the urgent winter needs such as blankets, clothing, mattresses and heating equipment for residents. It is also necessary to improve the conditions of the camps and provide more sustainable solutions for the accommodation. One of these solutions is the entry of residential shelters to Gaza, which unfortunately has not been licensed so far.
Gaza now needs more?
Today the Gaza Strip needs everything. After the devastating war that continued for six months, all the resources in the area have been completely completed, with Gaza under the complete and severe Israeli siege.
main priorities in providing basic needs include:
and Fuel River to launch power plants, water supplies and other public services.
supply of building materials : to rebuild homes and installations.
Supporting the health care sector : through the supply of medical and medical equipment to tackle the growing health crises.
Food supply: Markets face severe food shortages, so food aid should be provided sufficiently.
Provide immediate winter aid : including blankets, warm clothing and heating equipment for confrontation.
Energy Systems Entering : such as solar panels, batteries and generators.
equipment needed to repair damaged infrastructure : , especially water, electricity and sewage networks.
Gaza municipality, despite its very limited facilities, makes every effort to reduce people’s suffering. However, the situation is still catastrophic and requires an urgent international response. We urge the international community and humanitarian organizations to act quickly and to push the Zionist enemy to eliminate the siege of Gaza and to ensure the entry of necessary assistance to this strait. More than 5 million Palestinians are in unmatched conditions, and this devastating war has made their lives a human crisis that requires urgent action.
