World : Gaza Launches Emergency Plan To Evacuate And Demolish 255 War-damaged Buildings
GAZA CITY/ISTANBUL, Sept 21 (Bernama-Anadolu) -- Gaza’s Government Media Office on Sunday announced the launch of an “urgent emergency plan” led by Public Works and Housing Ministry in cooperation with various government ministries, institutions and international and UN bodies to evacuate and demolish 255 buildings damaged during Israel’s genocide on the enclave and considered at risk of collapse.
Gaza’s Government Media Office has announced an urgent emergency plan to demolish 255 buildings damaged by Israeli attacks across the enclave. Relevant ministries have directed their departments to commence field operations and implement an evacuation plan, according to a press release on Sunday. The directives involve issuing formal notices to owners of hazardous structures, installing warning signs to prevent access, and arranging temporary shelter for affected families.
However, challenges persist, such as reluctant families, funding shortages, equipment scarcity due to Israel's siege, and limited land for evacuees to shelter. The plan came after a six-story building collapsed in Gaza City last week, killing at least 21 Palestinians, including five children.
