The Israeli army destroyed 280,000 housing units, completely or partially, during the genocidal war on the Gaza Strip, the Ministry of Public Works and Housing reported on Sunday.

The ministry said in a statement that the cases that have been identified in the field so far are about 250,000 housing units, including 170,000 housing units that have been completely demolished, and 80,000 housing units that are uninhabitable.

Work is underway for various government offices in Gaza to complete linking the first census database to the geographic information system, in coordination with the municipalities.

The Ministry of Housing stated in the statement that this data is periodically shared with the Ministry of Social Development and partner institutions, as a basis for providing shelter interventions.

The Palestinian Authority confirmed that it is in the process of creating an inquiry link for the completely or partially demolished units, “uninhabitable,” which were identified in the field by the working crews.

According to the Ministry, the electronic link will provide the opportunity to register cases that have not been counted, as field teams will visit those cases and include those who meet the initial count criteria in its database.

The Ministry of Works stated that according to the work plan, the initial inventory will be completed within two weeks from its date, after which preparations will be made to begin the detailed inventory in coordination with international bodies and institutions working in the field of construction.

As a result, the Israeli occupation authorities are still delaying the implementation of the humanitarian protocol, and preventing the entry of mobile homes and caravans into the Gaza Strip.

According to government sources, the humanitarian protocol stipulates the entry of 60,000 caravans and 200,000 temporary tents to accommodate displaced Palestinians whose homes were destroyed as a result of the Israeli aggression.

It also includes the entry of 600 trucks daily loaded with aid, including 50 fuel and gas trucks, in addition to 4,200 trucks within one week.

It includes the entry of equipment to provide humanitarian and medical services, in addition to removing rubble, maintaining infrastructure, operating the power plant, and other requirements necessary to rehabilitate humanitarian services in the sector.
