Damage around Gaza City ‘unbelievable’: Mayor
Gaza City mayor Yahya al-Sarraj has told Al Jazeera that the extent of the damage by Israeli attacks is only just being discovered due to the truce. “When we move around Gaza, we feel very angry and sad. We are discovering now how much damage has been inflicted on the infrastructure of the city – on cultural centres, libraries and main public squares,” he said. “The headquarters of the main municipality has been hit hard with two attacks, damaging three stories of one building and destroying thousands of documents of important historical value. The damage is unbelievable around the city. “About 60 percent of housing units and apartments [have been destroyed]. Thousands of people are now homeless. They either live in schools or shelters or at their relatives’ houses. These apartments are not livable at the moment. [Israeli forces] destroyed many water wells.” Subscribe to our channel http://bit.ly/AJSubscribe Follow us on Twitter https://twitter.com/AJEnglish Find us on Facebook https://www.facebook.com/aljazeera Check our website: https://www.aljazeera.com/ Check out our Instagram page: https://www.instagram.com/aljazeeraenglish/ Download AJE Mobile App: https://aje.io/AJEMobile #PalestinianPrisoners #IsraelHamasDeal #IsraelHamasTruce #GazaTruceDeal #GazaHumanitarianPause #IsraelHamasTruceDeal #GazaHumanitarianCrisis #GazaHumanitarianAid #Gaza #Israel #IsraelGazaWar #IsraelHamasWar #GazaWar #AbductedIsraelis #IsraeliCaptives #IsraeliHostages
