GAZA (Palestine Foundation Information Center) Beit Lahia Mayor Alaa Al-Attar revealed on Tuesday that 95% of citizens’ homes in Beit Lahia were destroyed, while 100,000 citizens became homeless.
In press statements, Al-Attar also mentioned that Beit Lahia is regarded as a total disaster area and that 80% of its water wells were destroyed.
In addition to the lack of food security brought on by the poaching of farmers’ lands, he noted that the destruction of Kamal Adwan Hospital and the burning of the Indonesian Hospital had decimated the health sector in Beit Lahia.
He clarified that the Israeli occupation army destroyed all of the Beit Lahia Municipality’s buildings, 23 health sector vehicles, and several heavy vehicles.
Last Sunday, a ceasefire came into effect, ending a 15-month Israeli genocidal war against the Gaza Strip that left the besieged enclave in ruins and created an unprecedented humanitarian crisis.
