Government Initiates Damage Assessment Program in Gaza Under Prime Minister’s Direction


Gaza: The Palestinian government, under the directives of Prime Minister Dr. Mohammad Mustafa and the supervision of the Ministry of Public Works and Housing, has officially launched a comprehensive damage assessment program in Gaza.



According to Palestine News and Information Agency – WAFA, this initiative is in partnership with the United Nations Development Programme (UNDP) and the Arab and International Organization for Reconstruction in Palestine, marking a significant step in the early recovery efforts for the region. The program will deploy 700 engineers tasked with conducting thorough damage assessments across Gaza, providing clear and accurate documentation of the destruction. This documentation will form the foundation for upcoming government interventions in the recovery and reconstruction phases, aiming to revitalize the area and lay the groundwork for long-term rebuilding projects.



Additionally, the Ministry of Public Works and Housing is working closely with the Arab and Islamic Funds Authority to carry out key activities such as rubble removal and the provision of temporary shelters. These efforts are designed to meet immediate needs and allow for a smoother transition to reconstruction once the damage is fully assessed.



This program is part of the broader strategy within the government’s comprehensive recovery plan, addressing multiple sectors affected by the recent crisis in Gaza. The goal is to not only restore physical infrastructure but also to support the people of Gaza in their recovery, ensuring a brighter and more sustainable future.
