Big news from Gaza! 🎉 After years of hardship, Gaza is stepping into a new era of rebuilding and hope. Khalil Al-Hayya, a senior member of Hamas' political bureau, announced on Tuesday that it's time to remove the scars of the past and start afresh.
\"We are now entering a new phase in our noble Gaza, a phase of construction, solidarity, and removing the effects of aggression to rebuild,\" Al-Hayya shared in a video message.
He added, \"We will rebuild Gaza, ease the pain, heal the wounds, and bring comfort to the orphans.\"
The vibe in Gaza is shifting, and so is the movement! 🚶♂️🚶♀️ Basem Naeem, another member of Hamas' political bureau, announced that starting January 25, people can move freely between the southern and northern parts of the Gaza Strip. How awesome is that?
But that's not all! On Tuesday, a surge of humanitarian aid rolled into Gaza. Priorities include healthcare, food, water, and shelter. Plus, they're opening bakeries and helping families reunite. ❤️
The UN's Office for the Coordination of Humanitarian Affairs (OCHA) reported that in the Jabalia camp, people are building makeshift shelters amidst the rubble. Sounds tough, but the spirit is unbreakable!
\"There's a critical lack of access to water, with all wells destroyed, and the risk of unexploded ordnance remains high,\" OCHA said. \"We and our humanitarian partners are mobilizing for food and emergency shelter support.\"
According to OCHA, over 90% of housing units in Gaza have been damaged or destroyed over the past 15 months. That's huge! But with the surge in aid, there's hope on the horizon. 🌅
The ceasefire between Israel and Hamas, which started on January 19, has opened doors for this new beginning. The first phase is set to last 42 days, with hostages being released on both sides. Peace talks, anyone?
Since October 7, 2023, the conflict has been intense, causing immense loss and devastation. But now, with rebuilding efforts kicking off, there's a chance for healing and moving forward.
So here's to Gaza's new chapter! 🎊 Let's hope for peace, unity, and a brighter future ahead.
