UNRWA: Reconstructing Gaza Strip is beyond our capabilities

The media advisor and spokesman for the United Nations Relief and Works Agency for Palestine Refugees (UNRWA), Adnan Abu Hasna, confirmed today, Tuesday, that the reconstruction process in the Gaza Strip exceeds the agency’s capabilities due to the severe damage and destruction that has affected all aspects of life in the Gaza Strip.


He added that the agency can contribute to rehabilitating the infrastructure in the camps, returning employees to work inside them, and operating their wells.


According to the organization's official website, Abu Hasna said that the agency's work has doubled over the past two days after more than a thousand aid trucks entered, with thousands of employees working at full capacity in the process of distributing food supplies. He pointed out that talking about the service infrastructure in the sector requires focusing on the basics, such as enabling municipalities to restore water and its lines and repair wells, as well as electricity companies that need wires, generators and high-voltage lines.


He explained that the search for the missing, whose number exceeds thousands of bodies under the rubble, requires planning and the work of special teams with experience, especially with regard to unexploded shells, the number of which has been estimated at tens of thousands according to UN estimates, expressing his concern about the Israeli practices and obstacles facing the agency and its employees, and the obstacles that will result from that.
