The
Palestinian Ministry of Public Works and Housing stated that eight vehicles belonging to the ministry have been
working since the end of the aggression over a period of seven days to
"remove the rubble and traces left by the aggression in the camp's
streets."
Israeli aggression resulted in the
"
destruction of roads extending for 5km," according to the ministry,
which indicated that "crews will begin demolishing buildings at risk of
collapsing after completing the assessment of homes."
Damage assessment and expected losses
Preliminary statistics indicate that five
houses need to be completely demolished, and the number is expected to increase
as the damage assessment process continues, as stated by the ministry.
The extent of the damage to the
infrastructure in Jenin is "very large," and the initial estimates of
the losses "range from $18–20 million," as the aggression caused
losses in private and public buildings exceeding $12 million, and $3.5 million
in the road network, according to the ministry.
Additionally, the destruction in the
infrastructure and water sector amounted to approximately $3 million.
Reconstruction efforts and presidential
visit
Abdul Majid Madnia, the head of the damage
assessment committee and a member of the reconstruction
committee in Jenin,
stated that the assessment committee "submitted the first bid to the
reconstruction committee with a preliminary cost of 10 million shekels for the
rehabilitation of the camp's streets only."
Madnia confirmed that the assessment
committee has started its work, with the work divided into five sectors
consisting of several committees in cooperation between partner institutions,
various ministries, popular committees in the camp, and the
Jenin Municipality.
He mentioned that "the damages will be
assessed as quickly as possible to begin reconstruction under the directives of
President Mahmoud Abbas."
On Wednesday, Abbas will visit the city of
Jenin and its camp to observe the conditions of the Palestinians and the
progress of the reconstruction work in the camp and the city after the recent
Israeli aggression, according to the Palestinian news agency, WAFA.
