The Gaza Strip has economic losses of $ 5,000 million due to Israel bombing

Mohamad to Wadiya, entrepreneur, 30,  took advantage of the ceasefire in the Gaza Strip and decided to take the car and go to assess the damage in a chips production factory, after more than a month of intense fighting and Israelis bombing .

“We had managed to rebuild the factory and reopen it 2 months ago, after in 2009 it was totally destroyed during the Israeli operation,” he explains beside the remains of what until recently was a company located in the east of Gaza.

 The situation is dramatically repeated in several sectors of the strip, where entire neighborhoods have been reduced to rubble since on July 8 the Israeli army launched a military offensive that killed more than 1,900 Palestinians, 75% of them civilians.

According to Hasayna Mufid, Minister of Housing and Public Works of the Gaza Strip, the month of fighting left economic losses near to $ 5.000 million. Around 40,000 constructions of all kinds have been destroyed or severely damaged.
