The government media office in Gaza denied on Friday that mobile homes had entered the Strip for the purpose of shelter, and stressed that a very limited number of them had entered and were allocated to international institutions or field hospitals.

"No mobile homes (caravans) were brought in for shelter at all," said Ismail Thawabta, director general of the government media office, in a statement.

He added, "The number of caravans entering is very limited and is allocated to international institutions or field hospitals, as was previously the case for the Red Crescent Society's field hospital a few days ago."

In this context, Rafah Mayor Ahmed Al-Sufi said that Israel allowed 15 mobile homes to enter the Strip on Thursday through the Rafah land crossing, where they were directed to international and UN institutions to use them as headquarters.

Al-Sufi called on the countries sponsoring and guarantor of the ceasefire agreement to exert pressure on the Israeli occupation to allow the entry of mobile homes, tents and reconstruction materials to shelter the Palestinians.

"We need to open the Rafah crossing around the clock and bring in hundreds of thousands of temporary housing units and building materials, as well as allow specialized companies to enter to start the rubble removal and recycling operations," he said.

Al-Sufi pointed out that delaying the reconstruction process exacerbates the suffering of the Palestinians in Gaza, noting that the reconstruction process must begin immediately by providing suitable housing for those affected, and bringing in the equipment and companies necessary to remove the rubble and rebuild vital facilities.

On January 19, the first phase of the ceasefire and prisoner exchange agreement began, divided into three phases, each lasting 42 days, with the condition that the next phase be negotiated before the current phase is completed.

According to the government media office in the Gaza Strip, nearly 1.5 million people have become homeless after their homes were destroyed, while all 2.4 million residents of the Strip suffer from the lack of the most basic life services and the absence of infrastructure.

Israel is refusing to allow the entry of necessary humanitarian aid into the Strip, especially 200,000 tents and 60,000 mobile homes (caravans) to provide urgent shelter for the affected Palestinians, thus violating the ceasefire agreement, according to the government office.

More than once, Hamas has asked mediators to pressure Israel to allow the entry of mobile homes and heavy equipment needed to remove the rubble and recover the bodies of Palestinian martyrs.
