The <strong>National</strong> <strong>Early</strong> <strong>Recovery</strong> <strong>and</strong> <strong>Reconstruction</strong> <strong>Plan</strong> <strong>for</strong> <strong>Gaza</strong> <strong>2014</strong><br />
SECTION3<br />
GAZA RAPID<br />
ASSESSMENT OF<br />
DAMAGES AND NEEDS<br />
Conducted in the immediate aftermath of the assault, the preliminary<br />
assessment found an unprecedented scale of destruction. All geographic areas<br />
of <strong>Gaza</strong> were affected by the conflict <strong>and</strong> witnessed aerial bombardment,<br />
naval shelling, or artillery fire. Some 44 percent of <strong>Gaza</strong> was designated by the<br />
Israeli military as a buffer zone, from the fenced border with Israel towards the<br />
west <strong>and</strong> in northern <strong>Gaza</strong>. Due to its densely populated <strong>and</strong> largely urban<br />
environment, all people in <strong>Gaza</strong> were exposed to the conflict <strong>and</strong> suffered from<br />
damages to vital infrastructure.<br />
Since <strong>Gaza</strong> was already facing serious humanitarian <strong>and</strong> developmental<br />
challenges, this <strong>Plan</strong> provides a contextual description of the needs existing<br />
be<strong>for</strong>e the July/August assault (where relevant), followed by a description of the<br />
losses created by the assault.<br />
