RESTRICTION SUMMARY: APAwire CLIENTS ONLY SHOTLIST: APAwire - APAwire CLIENTS ONLY, Gaza- 21 December 2021. Palestinian owners of houses which were hit by Israeli strikes during the recent 11-day speaks to demand the reconstruction of their houses. 0.1 SOUNDBITE (in Arabic) Um Osama Ahmed 0.2 SOUNDBITE (in Arabic) Ahmed Abu Obaid 0.3 SOUNDBITE (in Arabic) Abdel Aal STORYLINE: The second phase of an Egypt-funded reconstruction plan has begun in the besieged Gaza Strip, an Egyptian official. Earlier in May, Israeli airstrikes caused the destruction of more than 200 residential units in Gaza Strip and 31 educational establishments, including schools, colleges, and vocational training centers. According to the United Nations, 40,000 Palestinians got displaced – mainly from the North to the South – while 2,500 lost their homes. Also, 213 deaths, including 61 children and 36 women, were recorded in addition to 1,442 injuries. President Abdel Fatah al-Sisi announced in May that Egypt is allocating $500 million to the reconstruction of Gaza Strip, and that Egyptian firms will take part in the work. “The economy in Gaza has been in recession since May’s escalation [of hostilities with Israel] and this will remain the case unless a real and actual reconstruction plan is implemented. Reaching this point [phase 2 of reconstruction] will mean recruiting large numbers of Palestinian workers, which will reduce unemployment. Major investment will be made, thus contributing to an economic recovery or at least halting the growing economic deterioration,” Alijla said. Footage by APAwire
