Hamas supporting Qatar to build 1,000 housing units in Gaza
Gaza, (Alresalah.ps)– Head of Qatar’s National Committee for the Reconstruction of Gaza Ambassador Mohamed Emadi declared that his country is mobilizing Arab and international efforts for the reconstruction of the Gaza Strip.
He pointed out that Qatar has been working to activate the reconstruction of the besieged Strip that witnessed three wars during which more than 100,000 homes were either completely demolished or partially destroyed.
During a press conference held in Gaza with Housing Minister Mufid al-Hasayna on Tuesday, Emadi said that his country’s efforts for the reconstruction of Gaza are still continuing.
He announced plans to build 1,000 housing units in the blockaded Strip.
“The building of 1,000 housing units comes as part of a one billion dollars donation towards the reconstruction of the Gaza Strip,” Emadi declared.
During the conference, he called on donor countries to meet their aid pledges for rebuilding the devastated Gaza Strip following a 51-day Israeli offensive last summer.
“Qatar made a pledge at the donor conference. Today we are putting that into effect, by beginning construction of 1,000 housing units,” the head of the Qatari project said.
… For its part, Hamas Movement welcomed the National Committee for the Reconstruction of Gaza Ambassador Mohamed Emadi’s visit to Gaza and his declaration to build 1,000 housing units.
Hamas hailed the Qatari “blessed” efforts made for the reconstruction of Gaza following Israel’s summer “aggression”.
