Days of Palestine, Gaza Strip –Local charities offered on Tuesday 100 mobile homes to Gazans displaced by the latest Israeli war on the Gaza Strip.
The homes, which were built locally and funded by charities, were donated to families in the Khuzaa neighbourhood, east of Khan Younis.
Each home consists of two bedrooms, a kitchen, and a bathroom, and it is enough for five-member families.
Suad Najjar, who lost her home in during the Israeli war, said that the mobile homes were not big enough to accommodate her family and worries that they could replace the rebuilding of her home.
“A mobile home is enough only for five,” she said. “It is not enough for all my children.”
The mobile homes are the size of one room in her destroyed house, she said, adding that the properties should not become a permanent solution for those displaced.
Manager of Palestine Office for Human Appeal International Imad al-Haddad, said that the mobile homes are temporary and the most essential step now is to allow the construction material to enter into Gaza.
Two weeks ago, Human Appeal offered 50 mobile homes to displaced people of Khuza’a. The charity pledged to offer more mobile homes as temporary solution in the coming days.
During the 51-day war, 9,800 homes were totally destroyed and another 8,000 left uninhabitable, according to data from the Housing Ministry in Gaza.
The cost for full reconstruction of homes and infrastructure destroyed during the war is estimated at $7.8 billion by the Ramallah-based Palestinian Economic Council for Development and Reconstruction.
