Qatar starts building 1,000 homes in Gaza

GAZA: A Qatari official visiting a Gaza neighbourhood heavily bombed in last summer’s war with Israel said yesterday the country had begun a project to rebuild 1,000 homes as part of a $1bn aid pledge.
Mohammad Al Amadi, head of the Qatari Committee to Rebuild Gaza, said that earlier in the day Israel had allowed four truckloads of cement into the Gaza Strip so that the planned construction of the dwellings could begin.
“Today we are starting the $1bn (effort),” Amadi told reporters as he stood in the rubble of a hospital destroyed during the 50-day Gaza war.
Cogat, the Israeli military office that coordinates the movement of goods into Gaza, said the cement shipments were being handled by the Western-backed Palestinian Authority. The PA exercises limited self-rule in the West Bank, which Israel took in a 1967 war.
