Zaitoun neighborhood in Gaza waiting for development
Palestine, Economics, 9/27/1997
The Palestinian Economic Council for Development and Reconstruction (PECDAR) signed a contract with a local Palestinian company to carry out a development project at Al Zaitoun neighborhood in Gaza city, with an estimated value of US $4 million. The money was donated by the European Union (EU).
Khaled Nijem, director of project cooperation unit in PECDAR, said that the development project includes an installation of a sanitation network, pavement of 10 roads, as well as other services related to infrastructure.
Zaitoun neighborhood is one of the many neighbourhoods in Gaza that badly needs a variety of development works, and Palestinains say that 30 years of Israeli occupation in the Gaza Strip had destroyed almost totally the infrastructure in Gaza. Other neighborhoods are still waiting for similar projects and the PNA has applied to a number of donor countries to come forward and assist in the multi-million dollar projects that the PNA's budget cannot afford on its own.
