The National Early Recovery and Reconstruction Plan for Gaza 2014<br />

State of Palestine<br />

FOREWORD<br />

Gaza is once more in crisis. Seven weeks of bombardment and ground incursions have left thousands dead and injured and half a<br />

million people displaced. The physical destruction is vast in scale. Yet it is the human loss that is truly incomprehensible and from<br />

which will be the hardest to recover.<br />

Palestinians living in Gaza have suffered too long and too much. They deserve a future that is free from restriction, confinement,<br />

and destruction. With their resilience, ingenuity, and determination, our people in Gaza are more than capable of making the<br />

coastal region of Palestine flourish and prosper.<br />

Full recovery from years of conflict and devastation can happen only if Gaza is once more connected with the West Bank,<br />

including East Jerusalem, and all parts of Palestine are once more open to the world. Free movement of people and goods will<br />

catalyze Gaza, catapulting it from its current crisis into socio-economic sustainability. Freedom of access must be guaranteed.<br />

The borders must be opened. Trade must flow. People must travel.<br />

The past months have been some of the grimmest in Palestinian history. And, yet, it was not a new experience. Since the Nakba<br />

in 1948 until now, Palestinians have been forced through too many dark days. Israeli military action is constant, with massive<br />

assaults in tragic repetition: in Gaza, six-year old children have already lived through three major assaults that have robbed them<br />

of friends, family, and their childhood innocence.<br />

But our Palestinian people will continue to move forward towards their dream of an independent, prosperous, and peaceful<br />

state, with East Jerusalem as their capital. When Gaza last faced such destruction in 2009, Palestinian unity was still a distant<br />

dream. Now, our people have achieved that unity, brought together by the National Consensus Government, formed just<br />

weeks before the assault on Gaza began. Our Government will exert all efforts to recover, repair, and rebuild Gaza as an<br />

integral region of Palestine.<br />

We extend our hand to the international community, to our partners in peace and our friends in times of need. We challenge the<br />

world to be ambitious and daring in helping us realize our dream of prosperity and justice in an independent state, free of military<br />

occupation. An immediate measure is to end the blockade on Gaza and ensure our people never again experience the horrors of<br />

this summer.<br />

A brighter future is on the horizon. Give Palestinians in Gaza the tools, the opportunities, and the freedom to secure that future -<br />

here and now.<br />

Rami Hamdallah<br />

Prime Minister

This document was prepared by the Palestinian Government’s Higher Inter-Ministerial Committee for Gaza Recovery and<br />

Reconstruction, supported by the Inter-Governmental Technical Committee.<br />

This Plan will be used to consolidate resources and responses to help the Palestinian people in Gaza rebuild their lives and<br />

livelihoods. As such, it forms the basis for mobilizing resources and efforts at the international conference in Cairo, Egypt on<br />

October 12, 2014 and provides the guiding framework for all relief, early recovery, and reconstruction interventions.<br />

The Government would like to express its appreciation to the institutions that contributed to the development of this plan and<br />

the rapid damage and needs assessment that underpins it, including the line ministries, other Government bodies, the United<br />

Nations, the World Bank, the European Union (EU), the Office of the Quartet Representative, international and national NGOs, and<br />

the private sector. Special appreciation goes to Egypt and Norway for organizing the donor conference.<br />

As we work together to provide our people in Gaza with a better future, we acknowledge the damage that can never be undone<br />

and the loss that will remain, even when peace and prosperity return. We honor the memory of the thousands who have died,<br />

we mourn with those left behind, and stand with those who have suffered the most.<br />

Finally and with the greatest sorrow, we remember the children: those who have died and those who still live, haunted by the<br />

horrors of this assault and the other assaults that have overshadowed their childhoods.<br />

The National Early Recovery and Reconstruction Plan for Gaza 2014<br />

EXECUTIVE SUMMARY<br />

In July 2014, the Israeli military launched a sustained assault on Gaza. For seven weeks, Gaza was invaded and bombarded from<br />

land, sea, and air. The human loss was great: at least 2,145 people were killed, including 581 children. One in four Palestinians in<br />

Gaza was forced to flee, and over 60,000 houses were partially or completely destroyed. Public services have been devastated,<br />

creating scarcity of water, energy, food, and shelter. Agriculture, industry, and trade are at a standstill, leaving ever more Gaza<br />

residents without a livelihood.<br />

This devastating assault follows decades of occupation and border closures that have left our people in Gaza isolated,<br />

impoverished, and vulnerable. Gaza was already in the grip of a humanitarian and environmental crisis before the assault began.<br />

A seven-year blockade had suffocated the private sector, creating widespread dependency: 80 percent of Gaza residents were<br />

already dependent on aid, 47 percent were food insecure, and 40 percent were unemployed.<br />

The National Consensus Government has developed this Palestinian National Early Recovery and Reconstruction Plan to provide<br />

a roadmap through the current humanitarian crisis to long-term development. The Gaza Early Recovery and Reconstruction<br />

Rapid Needs Assessment forms the backbone of the plan. Conducted by Palestinian ministries and agencies with the support of<br />

local and international partners, it uses the situation prior to the assault as a baseline but contextualizes it within the experience<br />

of Israel’s long and continuing blockade of Gaza.<br />

This Plan was developed with the intention to transition from relief efforts to longer-term development needs across four sectors<br />

– social, infrastructure, economic, and governance. The Government will respond to the urgent and chronic needs of Gaza with<br />

relief, recovery, and reconstruction interventions in each of these sectors that will reinforce the foundations for longer term<br />

development and growth.<br />

Gaza is an integral part of the Palestinian state and its gate to the Mediterranean. Its development is crucial for the viability of<br />

the Palestinian state and for the two-state solution. The Government will no longer accept the isolation and repression of our<br />

people in Gaza. Renewed growth and prosperity in Gaza is the Government’s moral and national imperative. Furthermore, there<br />

is no doubt that the success of the Government in the reconstruction of Gaza is key to ensuring the stability of Gaza, Palestine,<br />

and the region.<br />

Through the National Early Recovery and Reconstruction Plan, the Government will take - and lead - a series of measures to<br />

uphold its responsibility towards Gaza and its residents and ensure rapid improvements to their lives, by working on multiple<br />

paths, in cooperation with partners in civil society, the private sector, and donors, while maintaining national ownership.<br />

Response is already ongoing, under the leadership of the Government through its Bridging to Recovery Initiative that guides the<br />

transition from emergency to early recovery.<br />

Initial rapid assessments have provided early evidence on the scale of the damage caused by the 51-day assault and form the<br />

basis for the Government’s response plan. Nearly half a million people were displaced at the height of the conflict and more<br />

than 11,200 injured, resulting in an increase in the number of poor, unsheltered persons, disabled, orphans, and female-headed<br />

households. 373,000 children are now in need of psychosocial support. Fifty percent of all medical facilities sustained severe<br />

damage and Gaza’s emergency and primary health care systems are now overstretched and under-supported. At the same<br />

time, border closures have prevented the flow of crucial medical supplies and the transfer of high risk medical cases. Nearly 300<br />

education establishments, from kindergarten to university level, suffered extensive damage and numerous others require repairs<br />

having been used as emergency shelters for the internally displaced during the assault.<br />

Essential infrastructure, which was already at breaking point prior to the assault, has sustained severe damage. An estimated<br />

20,000 tons of explosives fired by the Israeli military have left many buildings and large areas of Gaza reduced to rubble. At least<br />

5,000 explosive remnants of war (ERW) are not yet secured or destroyed. Extensive disruption has been caused to water and<br />

sanitation networks, energy supplies and facilities, roads and bridges, and the telecommunications system.


9<br />

Gaza’s private sector has suffered both direct damage to property, equipment, stock and raw materials, as well as indirect losses<br />

due to closure and reduced economic activity. The agriculture sector has seen widespread destruction of cultivated land,<br />

greenhouses, livestock and poultry farms, water wells, irrigation networks, and other productive assets. Seventeen percent of the<br />

total cultivated area has been completely destroyed. In the industrial sector, more than 20 percent of Gaza’s industrial enterprises<br />

and over 4,000 commercial and trade enterprises have been destroyed or damaged. Unemployment is set to rise significantly,<br />

defaults in the banking sector may become a problem, and investors, who were already hesitant to invest, are likely to be ever<br />

more cautious.<br />

This Early Recovery and Reconstruction plan presents a comprehensive and prioritized response to the overwhelming damage<br />

across all sectors and geographic areas in in Gaza.<br />

The response in the social sector will require $701 million. The Government will work with UNRWA and other agencies to extend<br />

a safety net to newly impoverished citizens, including through expanded cash transfers, food assistance, and distribution of nonfood<br />

items. Health services will be restored by rehabilitating destroyed and damaged health infrastructure and equipment. In<br />

the education sector, the Government and UNRWA will focus on responding to urgent humanitarian needs amongst students,<br />

rehabilitating infrastructure, providing psycho-social and social protection support to students, staff, and families, and returning<br />

to education as soon as possible.<br />

In the infrastructure sector, $1.9 billion will be required for temporary service provision as well as extensive rehabilitation and<br />

reconstruction. The Government will prioritize the removal of rubble and removal of ERWs, which pose a critical danger to<br />

citizens, particularly children. In the energy sector, additional supplies will be purchased to supplement the now repaired Gaza<br />

Power Plant. Access to potable water will be increased initially through provisional supplies, followed by rehabilitation of the<br />

destroyed and damaged infrastructure and equipment. Small-scale desalination units will also be developed, and pumps,<br />

generators, and chlorine will be distributed. The largest expenditure within the infrastructure sector will be on housing, where<br />

temporary housing solutions will be found rapidly for those who have seen their houses destroyed or damaged. Thereafter,<br />

repairs and reconstruction will begin. A program to upgrade and develop border crossings will be essential to ensure handling<br />

of the construction materials required for the recovery and reconstruction efforts.<br />

The Government will invest $1.2 billion to rebuild the private sector and increase employment in Gaza, including restoring<br />

the productivity of the agricultural, fishing, industrial, and manufacturing sectors and the trades and services sector through<br />

rehabilitation, economic stimulation packages, as well as cash-for-work support.<br />

With respect to the governance sector, the National Consensus Government will seize the opportunity presented by its recent<br />

formation to harmonize and integrate the previously divided government structures. Maintaining and expanding the operational<br />

capacity of the government will need to go hand in hand with the reconstruction of government institutions damaged and<br />

destroyed during the assault. These interventions will start immediately and require $183 million.<br />

The total cost of relief, recovery and reconstruction is estimated at $4 billion. This is about three times the estimated cost after the<br />

2008 assault and equivalent to 35 percent of the total GDP for the West Bank and Gaza combined. When compared to Palestine’s<br />

development budget for 2014 of $316 million, this is a huge shock. However, the Government sees the investment in Gaza as<br />

an investment in stability and the viability of a future Palestinian State.<br />

Alongside direct funding for relief, recovery and reconstruction, the continuation of existing budget support for Palestine to<br />

Gaza in 2014-2017 will be a vital element for sustaining government functions in the West Bank and Gaza. An estimated $4.5<br />

billion is required. Therefore the Government urges donors not only to complete the budget support for 2014, but also to<br />

commit to budget support for 2015-2017. Without this, proper functioning of the National Consensus Government, as well as<br />

recovery and reconstruction in Gaza, will be impossible.<br />

Whilst Gaza’s rebuilding will be costly in the short -to medium- term, the Government’s vision for Gaza is one of sustainability and<br />

self-sufficiency, where Gaza is an integral driver of the a growing Palestinian economy, united with the West Bank and opened<br />

up to the rest of the world.

The National Early Recovery and Reconstruction Plan for Gaza 2014<br />

SECTION1<br />

Setting the Context<br />

The recent assault on Gaza is a reminder of the destabilizing impact and the heavy<br />

toll that Israel’s decades long occupation exerts on Palestinians and will continue<br />

to exert, so long as the goal of an independent Palestinian state in fulfillment of<br />

international law and consensus remains elusive. The status quo is unsustainable.<br />

A comprehensive and just peaceful settlement is essential to stopping the<br />

continuing, destructive conflict. Only an independent Palestinian state, free of<br />

Israeli occupation, can ensure peace, stability and security, side by side with Israel<br />

on the 1967 borders.<br />

Unifying all Palestinian territory under one effective government is an imperative<br />

for the Palestinian people and for a viable and prosperous state. The formation of<br />

the National Consensus Government is an essential first step in that direction and<br />

in ensuring national unity. The challenges facing the Government are numerous,<br />

spanning complex administrative, financial, legal, economic, and security issues.<br />

Added to those is the momentous task of reconstructing Gaza and economic<br />

recovery across the whole Palestinian territory, all against the backdrop of a<br />

deteriorating economic situation, high unemployment, decreased financial<br />

support, and continued Israeli occupation and colonization.<br />

The success of the National Consensus Government in meeting these challenges<br />

is the success of national unity in ensuring the economic and institutional<br />

foundations of an independent Palestinian state. The challenges are grave but can<br />

be met by the Government, provided that there is strong local and international<br />

political support and generous financial and technical support from donor<br />

countries, and provided that Israel upholds its obligations under international law<br />

and removes its destructive restrictions on Palestinian freedom.<br />

The National Early Recovery and Reconstruction Plan for Gaza 2014<br />

SECTION 1: Setting the Context<br />

1.1 Counting the Losses<br />

In August 2014, Gaza marked the end of the sixth Israeli assault since 2006. Although the 51-day bombardment and invasion<br />

has halted, Palestinians in Gaza are still counting their losses: thousands are dead or injured, nearly half a million were displaced,<br />

over 110,000 are still homeless, and billions of dollars of damage has been done.<br />

All this is against the backdrop of 66 years of displacement and dispossession, 47 years of military occupation, decades of travel<br />

restrictions, and a seven-year blockade, which has crippled the economy and shattered livelihoods. Two of every three people in Gaza<br />

were receiving food aid war prior to the recent assault. Poverty rates were up to 39 percent and unemployment had hit 45 percent.<br />

Through the latest assault, which began on July 7, 2014, the Israeli military has once again wrought wholescale damage and<br />

destruction to Gaza, surpassing even the aftermath of the December 2008 assault. During the 51-day assault, at least 2,145<br />

people killed and over 11,200 were injured. At least 142 Palestinian families lost three or more members, while 1,500 children lost<br />

one or both parents. More children have suffered than ever: at least 581 children were killed. Over 3,436 children were injured,<br />

leaving many permanently disabled 1 .<br />

One in four Palestinians in Gaza was forced to flee, and over 60,000<br />

houses were damage or destroyed. Infrastructure and public<br />

utilities were severely damaged, including Gaza’s only power<br />

plant, its water facilities, sanitation, electricity, telecommunication<br />

networks, and transportation. Israeli military strikes destroyed<br />

government and UN facilities, municipal centers, and public<br />

utilities, impeding the provision of basic services to Gaza’s 1.8<br />

million inhabitants. The local economy has almost completely<br />

collapsed, after the destruction of an unprecedented number of<br />

private sector assets and damage to agricultural land and fishing<br />

facilities. During the assault, up to 71 percent of the population<br />

became food insecure, as prices of basic foodstuff soared by 40<br />

to 179 percent. After seven weeks of assault, most Palestinians<br />

in Gaza can no longer meet their most basic needs: earning a<br />

livelihood is almost impossible.<br />

Immediate relief is already underway, provided by Government ministries and local and international agencies. The UN Office<br />

for the Coordination of Humanitarian Affairs (OCHA) has issued two funding appeals for a combined $563 million. The requested<br />

funds are supporting 47 humanitarian actors in providing immediate relief until December 2014. But humanitarian assistance is<br />

just the first phase in the longer effort to help Palestinians in Gaza recover quickly and build back better.<br />

The National Consensus Government has developed this Palestinian National Early Recovery and Reconstruction Plan, in<br />

coordination with UN agencies, civil society, and the private sector, to provide a roadmap through the current humanitarian<br />

crisis to long-term development. Building on the larger Palestinian National Development Plan, this Plan formulates responses<br />

to diverse and urgent sectoral needs to secure the foundation for a prosperous Gaza. Prior to the publication of this Plan, the<br />

Government began its Bridging to Recovery Initiative, through which it initiated key priority interventions from the Plan in<br />

response to critical needs in Gaza.<br />

Securing a stable future requires an end to this destruction and reconstruction cycle. The siege must be permanently lifted and<br />

normal movement of people, trade and economic activity must be restored. It is imperative to ensure that the current recovery<br />

and reconstruction leads Gaza onto a sustainable and permanent upward trajectory.<br />

1.2 The National Consensus Government: Priority Agenda<br />

The recent Israeli assault started five weeks after the formation of a National Consensus Government – the first government to<br />

administer in both the West Bank and Gaza since 2007. Formed as a result of President Mahmoud Abbas’ successful efforts to<br />

achieve national reconciliation, this Government aims to institutionally, legally, economically, and socially reintegrate Gaza and the<br />

West Bank, as a step towards achieving the aim of an independent and vibrant Palestinian state, with East Jerusalem as its capital.<br />

Upon its inception on June 2, 2014, the National Consensus Government was met with strong popular Palestinian support and<br />

welcomed by key international stakeholders, including all the Quartet members: the United States, the European Union, Russia<br />

and the United Nations.<br />

However, Israel expressed immediate and continued opposition to the National Consensus Government. It significantly limited<br />

the new Government’s ability to effectively oversee the rehabilitation and integration of the ministries and national institutions,<br />

including by preventing the movement of Government members between the West Bank and Gaza.<br />

1.2.1 Institutional and Legal Agenda<br />

Coupled with external challenges caused by the Israeli occupation, the new Government must address complex internal<br />

governance tasks, including the complex harmonization of national institutions, civil services, and legal systems. Following seven<br />

years of political separation, the full harmonization of Government institutions, civil service, and legal systems between Gaza and<br />

West Bank is a historical opportunity that will take time to realize. The overall objective of the Government is to reunite the body<br />

politic and strengthen state institutions through the implementation of the reconciliation agreement, with the aim of ensuring<br />

a unified Palestinian government effectively governing both Gaza and the West Bank.<br />

At the center of the effort to reunify and harmonize institutions is the issue of pre-2007 employees and the post-2007 staff<br />

engaged by the then de facto authority in Gaza. This issue has to be addressed in the short-term while ensuring that the<br />

Government is able to function in Gaza and carry out recovery and reconstruction efforts, and without undermining the<br />

introducing of a plan for the rationalization of civil service in Gaza and capacity development in the medium-long term. The<br />

resolution of these issues is further complicated by external legal challenges and the dire economic situation, in particular the<br />

inability of the economy to generate jobs under current circumstances.<br />

Establishing and maintaining law and order under the Government authority requires arrangements in the immediate and<br />

short-term for controlling the border crossings; harmonizing the police force; and increasing support to civil defense in response<br />

to early recovery efforts. In the medium-long term, security sector reform is essential to ensure the integration of the security<br />

forces under a clear command structure, along with capacity-building.<br />

The third major priority is the reintroduction of a unified justice system in Gaza by addressing the status of applicable laws, effect<br />

of legal decisions, and reunification of the court system, while continuing the process that was begun prior to 2007 of unifying<br />

the different laws, resulting from historic separation and different legal systems between the West Bank and Gaza.<br />

1.2.2 Economic and Fiscal Agenda<br />

The reversal of long term economic deterioration in Palestine, but especially in Gaza, is critical. The Palestinian economy has been<br />

strangled by ongoing restrictions and a highly uncertain political outlook. This has been felt even more acutely in recent years as<br />

a result of falling foreign aid levels. Growth fell to 1.9 percent in 2013 and is forecast to be negligible in 2014. Since this is below<br />

the average population growth of 3 percent, Palestinians are seeing their GDP per capita decline.<br />

This economic picture is even more startling when looking at Gaza, where repeated military assaults have time and again<br />

destroyed economic infrastructure and paralyzed economic activity. The impact has been compounded by the severe economic<br />

shock produced by the seven-year blockade on exports and imports, which has prevented movement of goods and people


16<br />

The National Early Recovery and Reconstruction Plan for Gaza 2014<br />

SECTION 1: Setting the Context<br />

between the West Bank and Gaza and all but eliminated Gaza’s export focused private sector. Today, only small shipments of<br />

selected products are permitted to other markets through donor-supported projects.<br />

The result is that real GDP per capita in Gaza has stayed largely stagnant since 1994, whilst real GDP per capita in the West Bank<br />

has more than doubled. Gaza’s contribution to Palestine’s total GDP has shrunk, from over a third in the mid-1990s to a quarter<br />

now. Pre-assault unemployment hit a staggering 45 percent, as compared to 16 percent in the West Bank, and was high as 70<br />

percent amongst Gaza’s youth. Before the latest assault, poverty stood at 38 percent, close to double the level of the West Bank.<br />

A further 30,000 households are estimated to have fallen into poverty as a result of the latest assault.<br />

In this context, Gaza’s recovery and reconstruction must address not only the immediate economic impact of the assault but also<br />

the preexisting structural challenges inhibiting Gaza’s development.<br />

Yet, the Government’s room for maneuver to address these issues directly is limited. Despite fiscal reforms and improvements,<br />

the Government remains reliant on donor support to meet the budget deficit and fund development projects. Additional<br />

spending for recovery and reconstruction will put significant fiscal pressure on the budget, at a time when donor flows have<br />

been steadily declining, falling by 30 percent since 2008. However, since revenues from Gaza in the short term will not be able<br />

to meet more than a small fraction of the additional expenditure – in 2013, only 3 percent of total Government revenues were<br />

collected in Gaza, as compared to 43 percent of budget expenditures there - the Government has no option but to look to its<br />

partners to support the recovery and reconstruction effort.<br />

1.3 The Vision for Gaza: Integration and Economic Development<br />

Gaza is an integral part of the Palestinian state and its gate to the Mediterranean. Its development is crucial for the viability of the<br />

State of Palestine and for the two-state solution. There is no doubt that the success of the National Consensus Government in<br />

the reconstruction of Gaza is key to ensuring the stability of Gaza, Palestine, and the region.<br />

Through this Plan, the Government will take - and lead - a series of measures to uphold its responsibility towards Gaza and<br />

its residents and ensure rapid improvements to their lives, by working on multiple paths, in cooperation with partners in civil<br />

society, the private sector, and donors, while maintaining national ownership.<br />

Addressing the humanitarian crisis in Gaza is the first step<br />

towards reconstruction and in enabling the population<br />

to live in dignity. Although the material damage can be<br />

repaired, the widespread loss of human life as a result of<br />

the assault will be suffered by generations to come. The<br />

Government’s goal is not simply to alleviate the suffering of<br />

citizens and repair the physical damage, but also to make<br />

substantive improvements in the economic and social<br />

situation of Gaza residents, particularly by dealing with the<br />

chronic problems of poverty and unemployment.<br />

It is neither sufficient nor acceptable to return to the<br />

status quo prior to the July/August assault. This would<br />

be tantamount to buying time until the next assault and<br />

crisis. Rather, the economy in Gaza must be put on an<br />

upward trajectory to achieve development, prosperity, and<br />

a dignified life for its population. Accordingly, this Plan is<br />

not aimed to “put out fires.” Rather, it is the beginning of<br />

sustainable development of Gaza, as part of the larger<br />

national plan to return the State of Palestine to its rightful<br />

political and developmental track.<br />

Developing for the Future:<br />

Beyond Reconstruction<br />

At least $7 billion is required as additional investment to<br />

meet long-term development needs. Most of this will be<br />

driven by the private sector.<br />

Keystone infrastructure development projects include:<br />

• The Gaza Marine gas project<br />

• The international airport<br />

• The commercial seaport<br />

• A large scale desalination plant<br />

• A north-south water carrier<br />

• Waste water treatment plants<br />

Significant investment is also required to address the<br />

existing infrastructure deficit arising from the blockade,<br />

including 75,000 housing units, over 270 schools, and<br />

two new hospitals.<br />

These projects are not budgeted in the reconstruction<br />

plan but will be critical for a thriving Gaza.


18<br />

The National Early Recovery and Reconstruction Plan for Gaza 2014<br />

SECTION 1: Setting the Context<br />

The vision of this Government is a Gaza that is fully integrated into the State of Palestine, politically, socially, and economically, and<br />

- through it - with the rest of the world. This vision assumes that local and international movement of goods and people is reliable<br />

and secure via two safe passages and a permanent territorial link, facilitating increased tourism and a thriving private sector.<br />

Looking beyond the immediate recovery and reconstruction effort, further priority infrastructure projects will be required<br />

to address the public and private deficit that has resulted from the blockade and to catalyze Gaza’s potential to contribute<br />

to Palestinian economic growth. Substantial additional investment is required to provide the infrastructural and economic<br />

foundation for Gaza – and Palestine - to thrive.<br />

Under this vision, in five years, a reconstructed Gaza will be open for business, fully engaged with the West Bank economy, and<br />

attracting international investment and tourism. In ten years, Gaza will be a rapidly growing, export-oriented economy, with<br />

increased trade and domestic prosperity and reduced aid dependency.


19<br />

1.4 The Private Sector: A Key Role in Economic Revival<br />

Gaza’s businesses have previously been amongst the most productive in Palestine, and its residents have remained dynamic and<br />

resilient. Strong opportunities for medium- and long-term growth in Gaza exist in various areas, including the manufacturing,<br />

technology, agriculture, tourism, energy, and construction sectors. Gaza enjoys a number of assets and sources of strength,<br />

including a substantial young, highly literate, and entrepreneurial labor force, a strategic geographic location in a narrow land<br />

corridor between North Africa and the Middle East, coastal assets that could be developed for year-round tourism, and significant,<br />

yet-to-be-developed energy resources. Under different conditions, Gaza-based businesses can transform the coastal region and<br />

Palestine into a hub for trade of goods and services, servicing markets in Europe and the Middle East.<br />

Palestinian companies will play a key role in the recovery and reconstruction efforts, both as ‘implementers’ of interventions and<br />

recipients of assistance if relevant. The Government will provide the proper enabling environment for the private sector to work<br />

efficiently. While implementing this Plan, priority will be given to creating favorable conditions for local economic development<br />

through the activation of the private sector. The Government will leverage the private sector via Public Private Partnerships (PPP)<br />

in infrastructure development. It will seek to put in place an enhanced range of financing and insurance mechanisms for those<br />

who invest in Gaza. In addition, it will harmonize West Bank and Gaza laws and provide incentives for investment in Gaza through<br />

the introduction of specific initiatives.<br />

While various interventions are planned for the revitalization of the private sector, this objective cannot be achieved without<br />

ensuring the removal of the blockade and access and movement restrictions, allowing for normal trade between Gaza and the<br />

West Bank, neighboring countries, and world markets.

The National Early Recovery and Reconstruction Plan for Gaza 2014<br />

SECTION 2: PLANNING FOR RECOVERY AND RECONSTRUCTION<br />

2.1Preparation of the Plan<br />

This Plan was prepared by the Office of the Deputy Prime Minister and overseen by the Higher Inter-Ministerial Committee.<br />

The Committee was formed by the Cabinet of Ministers on 30 July 2014 to oversee the preparation of the Plan for the donor<br />

conference in support of reconstruction efforts and budgetary support. It was assisted by a Technical Team composed of<br />

representatives of 20 ministries and Government institutions working closely with international organizations, donor countries,<br />

and the private sector.<br />

This Plan is based on the Gaza Early Recovery Rapid Needs Assessment, which began on August 14 and was conducted by<br />

line ministries in coordination with the Ministry of Planning and Administrative Development (MOPAD). Rapid assessments<br />

of damage and recommendations for top priority immediate interventions, as well as broader recovery and rehabilitation<br />

interventions, were prepared across the four key sectors, in accordance with the National Development Plan: Social Sector;<br />

Infrastructure Sector; Economic Sector; and Governance Sector. The damage assessments utilized a range of methodologies<br />

including analysis of satellite imagery, site visits, surveys, and interviews on the ground in Gaza, as required. Given the time<br />

limitations faced in developing the plans, both the damage valuation and the financing requirements are best estimates, based<br />

on the information available at this time.<br />

This Plan also draws upon preliminary needs assessments and response planning by the World Bank and UN agencies, including<br />

the Multi-Cluster/Sector Initial Rapid Assessment (MIRA) that was conducted on August 13, 18, and 19 by the UN OCHA and<br />

Government ministries in Gaza. The Plan’s analysis of existing needs prior to the July/August assault is based on previous studies<br />

produced by the Government, the World Bank, and UN agencies .<br />

These assessments are rapid examinations of the challenges faced by residents of Gaza. Further ongoing and planned full-scope<br />

assessments will feed the Government’s detailed work planning for the interventions described in this Plan. These assessments<br />

include an infrastructure damage assessment by UNDP/PAPP and the Government and a Detailed Needs Assessment (DNA) by<br />

the European Union, the World Bank, and UNDP/PAPP.<br />

2.2 Guiding Principles<br />

The Plan is guided by a set of principles that intend to maximize its effectiveness and draw on lessons learned from the<br />

previous recovery and reconstruction planning and implementation:<br />

• Linking recovery plans to Palestine’s National Development Plan: Gaza is an integral part of the Palestinian economy and<br />

the Palestinian state. The recovery and reconstruction efforts under this Plan are entirely consistent with national development<br />

objectives, which serve to promote coherence in resource allocation, planning and implementation. The implementation<br />

mechanism for Gaza reconstruction will be synchronized with the implementation mechanisms for Palestine’s broader<br />

economic development plans, as laid out in the National Development Plan. To maximize impact and harmonize efforts of<br />

a broad range of actors, the Plan will be implemented on the basis of the Global Partnership for Effective Development Cooperation:<br />

ownership, focus on results, inclusive partnerships, as well as transparency and accountability.<br />

• Government-led with broad-based participation: The National Consensus Government is leading the planning, execution,<br />

and monitoring of the Plan, in cooperation with international and local partners. The Government is already coordinating<br />

immediate response to urgent needs in Gaza with international agencies through the Inter-Cluster Coordination System<br />

and under the framework of its Bridging to Recovery Initiative. The Government will continue to coordinate efforts of all<br />

stakeholders in the early recovery process to avoid duplication of efforts and identify gaps and optimize the use of resources<br />

available for sustainable recovery and development. During the implementation process, the people and businesses of<br />

Gaza and Palestine will be at the center of early recovery and reconstruction efforts.<br />

• Using the plan for economic and private sector revitalization: The Plan aims to rebuild local production capacity. A<br />

priority has been given to creating favorable conditions for local economic development through the activation of the<br />

private sector. The plan aims to create additional temporary and permanent jobs and secure a key role for Palestinian


23<br />

companies in the implementation efforts of recovery and reconstruction. In this sense, the private sector and a wide range<br />

of civil society organizations are expected to be mobilized as both recipients of assistance and ‘implementers’ of early<br />

recovery and reconstruction interventions.<br />

• Prioritizing accountability and efficiency in execution: The Plan’s development and design pays particular attention<br />

to the need for rapid implementation and strong accountability mechanisms. Government bodies, private sector<br />

representatives, and donors will be held responsible for delivery in their key respective areas through a clear, transparent<br />

implementation roadmap that forms the basis of a performance management framework by the Government.<br />

• Focusing on most vulnerable demographic segments: The Plan focuses on and pays special attention to members of<br />

society who are most vulnerable, notably:<br />

• Women: As primary care givers, many women in Gaza are struggling to manage large families, particularly if<br />

displaced. There are more female-headed households, due to the death or disabling of male relatives. Pregnant<br />

and lactating women have reduced access to health care. Women and girls in shelters struggle to maintain<br />

cultural norms of privacy. There is evidence of increased gender-based violence.<br />

• Children: Unacceptable numbers of children were killed (over 23 percent of total casualties) and injured (33<br />

percent of total injuries). Over 1,500 children lost one or both parents, while hundreds of thousands need<br />

psychosocial support. Children are also vulnerable to increased violence and abuse and ERWs.<br />

• Persons with disabilities: An estimated 1,000 people are newly disabled. Disabled residents of Gaza face a<br />

myriad of urgent challenges, including access restrictions due to widespread destruction and loss of special<br />

aids, medicines, and service provision (following the destruction of the only rehabilitation facility). Shelters are<br />

not handicapped suited.<br />

• Elderly: Many older residents in Gaza already have physical and mental vulnerabilities, are dependent on nowlimited<br />

health services, and are less able to cope in damaged housing or shelters. Experiences of multiple<br />

hostilities and displacements increases psychosocial needs.<br />

• Internally Displaced Person (IDP): The internally displaced are a newly vulnerable population, particularly<br />

those who lost all their assets when their houses were destroyed. There are still 110,000 IDPs, sheltering in<br />

schools and with host families. IDPs struggle with inadequate access to basic services, overcrowding, food<br />

insecurity, psychosocial needs, and health concerns. Host families, extended communities, and supporting<br />

agencies are under strain.<br />

This Plan details interventions under all four sectors that are designed to protect these groups, including<br />

expanded social protection, provision of health and psychosocial support, strengthened crisis preparedness,<br />

ERW clearance, and targeted availability of legal aid.


24<br />

The National Early Recovery and Reconstruction Plan for Gaza 2014<br />

SECTION 2: PLANNING FOR RECOVERY AND RECONSTRUCTION<br />

2.3 Coverage of the Plan<br />

This Plan was developed with the intention to transition from relief efforts to longer-term development needs in Gaza. As a<br />

result, it combines critical relief, recovery, and reconstruction needs in order to lay the foundations for long term development.<br />

In its approach the Plan has identified three phases of interventions to respond to the complex, large-scale needs of Gaza and<br />

its population: relief, early recovery, and reconstruction.<br />

The immediate focus will be on the continuation of relief efforts already initiated by public and international agencies, especially<br />

for IDPs, as well as initiating early recovery interventions. Within a timeframe of six months from the Conference, the plan<br />

anticipates the launch of reconstruction efforts. This, however, is contingent on a border regime that reconnects Gaza to the<br />

outside world and allows for access of required materials and specialized personnel.<br />

2.3.1 Relief<br />

Timeframe: Immediate – Month 6<br />

Israel’s assault has created a complex humanitarian emergency situation that has required an immediate response in order to<br />

save lives and prevent severe harm to the population in Gaza. Some of these humanitarian interventions, in particular for IDPs,<br />

will need to be sustained over the coming months. These relief interventions focus predominantly on such needs as access to<br />

clean water and food, provision of shelter, as well as social protection for those whose homes were destroyed. Many of these<br />

interventions are being implemented through the Gaza Crisis Appeal, which was jointly issued by the UN and the Government.<br />

2.3.2 Early Recovery<br />

Timeframe: Month 1 – Month 12<br />

Early recovery is a multi-dimensional process that aims at stabilizing living conditions and preparing the foundations for<br />

longer-term reconstruction and development by supporting and generating self-sustaining processes for post-crisis recovery,<br />

planning, and financing. Among other things, early recovery interventions will aim to restore delivery of basic services (health,<br />

education, social programs, water, electricity, telecommunications); reduce additional risk and vulnerability; remove ERWs; begin<br />

to restore livelihoods and shelter (ensure safe and secure environments); and support the return of IDPs. In parallel with this, the<br />

Government will work towards strengthening governance functions.


25<br />

2.3.3 Reconstruction<br />

Timeframe: Month 6 – Ongoing<br />

Beyond the first two response phases, the Plan comprises<br />

a major reconstruction effort across all sectors in order<br />

to restore Gaza to “normalcy.” Services and infrastructure<br />

in Gaza are largely non-functional, due to the massive<br />

destruction of public and private infrastructure. It is thus<br />

crucial to initiate reconstruction activities as early as<br />

possible. Recognizing this, the Plan identifies time-sensitive<br />

reconstruction interventions that must be dealt with rapidly<br />

and fully, and which will be given top priority during the<br />

early reconstruction phases.<br />

The entire reconstruction effort will be underpinned by the<br />

aspiration to “build back better.” A mere rebuilding of the<br />

status quo or filling gaps left by the assault will not suffice.<br />

In this sense, the reconstruction provides an opportunity to<br />

revisit the needs of Gaza residents as they stand today, not<br />

as they stood yesterday. We must set our aims on ensuring<br />

conditions for lasting prosperity and wellbeing and creating<br />

an enabling environment for their enterprise and industry to<br />

flourish, and for people to live in dignity. We must also ensure<br />

that the reconstruction directly addresses key restraints to<br />

Gaza’s growth and some of the impending crises.<br />

Bridging to Recovery Initiative<br />

The Government believes that recovery must start<br />

immediately, alongside immediate relief activities<br />

implemented by ministries and humanitarian agencies,<br />

so that the people in Gaza can take an active – not passive<br />

– role in rebuilding their lives, homes, and livelihoods.<br />

Therefore, in advance of the donors’ conference, the<br />

Government is moving forward with implementing<br />

priority early recovery interventions, as part of the first<br />

phase of the Gaza Early Recovery and Reconstruction<br />

Plan. These selected interventions are designed to:<br />

1. Increase availability of basic services in Gaza;<br />

2. Provide temporary housing solutions and facilitate<br />

IDPs to return home as soon as possible; and<br />

3. Relieve financial stress and enable the private sector<br />

to participate in recovery and reconstruction.<br />

The interventions are a bridge from humanitarian crisis to<br />

early recovery. Through these actions, the Government is<br />

operationalizing its core strategy for Gaza’s recovery: caring<br />

for its citizens, rebuilding its infrastructure, revitalizing its<br />

economy, and strengthening its governance.<br />

The Shelter Assistance Package launched by the<br />

Government, UNRWA, and UNDP was the first Bridging<br />

to Recovery intervention. At the time of writing, the<br />

Government was working with the private sector to<br />

identify priority interventions for implementation.<br />

SECTION 2: PLANNING FOR RECOVERY AND RECONSTRUCTION<br />

2.4 Prerequisites for Effective Implementation of the Plan<br />

The success of the plan and the achievement of its objectives depend on several factors. However, based on past experiences,<br />

there are three main factors which will determine the success of the plan:<br />

• Unrestricted movement and access of goods and people;<br />

• Availability of sufficient and appropriate funding that can be rapidly deployed on the ground to meet the Plan’s activities; and<br />

• Effective ownership and leadership by the Palestinian Government and coordination with its partners to ensure that all<br />

efforts and operations are efficient and have maximum impact in the shortest possible time.<br />

The Plan calls for joint commitment between the Government and its partners to ensure that such conditions are met.<br />

2.4.1 A New Arrangement for Movement and Access<br />

Movement and access is essential to the recovery, reconstruction and development of the economy, improvements in people’s<br />

living conditions, and revival of the private sector. As result, the blockade must be lifted and crossings must be opened and<br />

operated effectively to allow for movement of goods and people from and into Gaza.<br />

The issues that will need to be addressed include: Gaza crossings with Israel; access and movement between the West Bank and<br />

Gaza; removal of access restrictions to lands near the Green Line in Gaza and the territorial waters; a bilateral Palestinian-Egyptian<br />

crossing at Rafah; and commercial seaport and airport in Gaza.


27<br />

Beyond the right of Palestinians to have the free movement laid out in international law and agreements, unrestricted access<br />

and movement is essential to the swift, efficient, and effective implementation of this Plan. The importance of this prerequisite<br />

is underlined by the year-long delay of key interventions of the 2009 Recovery and Reconstruction Plan by an Israeli regime of<br />

entry restrictions, clearance requirements for construction materials and equipment, and approval processes. A continuation of<br />

the current restrictions would significantly impede the progress – and impact – of the interventions described in this Plan. The<br />

UN estimates that, if current restrictions on the entry of materials persist, it will take over 18 years to reconstruct the destroyed<br />

housing units alone. This would be catastrophic for Gaza.<br />

As a result, this Plan calls for the swift entry of all required construction materials and commodities. The Government welcomes<br />

the new UN proposal for facilitating imports for private and government projects as a positive step. But the easing of the<br />

restrictions is insufficient. The permitting, review, and control regime must be completely removed as an obstacle to both the<br />

reconstruction efforts required to ensure basic service provision as well as the ability of the Gaza economy to generate income,<br />

jobs, and opportunities for the population.<br />

2.4.2 Sufficient and Rapidly Disbursed Funding<br />

At $4 billion, the total cost required for the recovery and reconstruction is three times the estimated cost after the 2008 assault<br />

and equivalent to a third of the total GDP for the West Bank and Gaza combined.<br />

The Government faces a challenging fiscal position, resulting first and foremost from the ongoing Israeli occupation and<br />

restrictions on movement and access and the Palestinian economy in general. The unprecedented level of damage of the latest<br />

assault requires an unprecedented level of financial support. Although the Government will strive to contribute its own financial<br />

resources, its constrained fiscal position means that it has no option but to look to local, regional, and international partners<br />

to provide the necessary financial support for recovery and rehabilitation to be completed. It will be essential that this can be<br />

disbursed quickly and efficiently and in line with the Government’s priorities, such that support, services, and infrastructure can<br />

be delivered as quickly as possible to the people and businesses of Gaza.<br />

In line with the principle of Government ownership of the strategy and its implementation, and global commitments on aid and<br />

development effectiveness, this Plan calls on donors to maximize utilization of national systems. Such an approach will enable<br />

a more coherent, programmatic, and long-term approach to development, and lead to much greater Palestinian ownership of<br />

the process.<br />

2.4.3 Government Leadership and Effective Co-ordination<br />

This Plan targets all sectors, geographic areas, and institutions affected by the assault. The enormous scale of the damage, the<br />

breadth and scope of activities required, and the number of stakeholders involved means that effective management and coordination<br />

of the Plan’s implementation and financing will be critical to reaching targeted goals.<br />

In line with the guiding principles outlined above, the responsibility for overall implementation, coordination, and oversight<br />

of the early recovery and reconstruction process will rest with the Government. However, the implementation of the Plan<br />

will involve all key ministries and Government bodies, working across all levels of Government and in close cooperation with<br />

numerous partners, including national development agencies, local and international NGOs, and the private sector.<br />

The Government will lead the coordination of all stakeholder efforts in order to avoid duplication of efforts, identify gaps, and<br />

optimize the use of resources available, as detailed in Section 5.

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 Gaza were affected by the conflict and witnessed aerial bombardment,<br />

naval shelling, or artillery fire. Some 44 percent of Gaza was designated by the<br />

Israeli military as a buffer zone, from the fenced border with Israel towards the<br />

west and in northern Gaza. Due to its densely populated and largely urban<br />

environment, all people in Gaza were exposed to the conflict and suffered from<br />

damages to vital infrastructure.<br />

Since Gaza was already facing serious humanitarian and developmental<br />

challenges, this Plan provides a contextual description of the needs existing<br />

before the July/August assault (where relevant), followed by a description of the<br />

losses created by the assault.<br />

2009 - 2014 Density Comparison of destroyed and severely<br />

damaged structures in gaza


31<br />

3.1 Social Sector<br />

Seven weeks of bombardment, seven years of blockade, and 25 years of movement restrictions have taken their toll on<br />

Palestinians living in Gaza. Social services, including health and education, are overstretched by historical weaknesses and new<br />

losses. Poverty, food insecurity, and social vulnerability have rocketed as a result of the mass displacement and destruction of the<br />

population. Many households in Gaza can no longer live without external assistance, putting additional pressure on the social<br />

protection system.<br />

3.1.1 Social Protection and Social Safety Nets<br />

Prior to the Assault<br />

Decades of border restrictions and repeated assaults have destroyed livelihood opportunities and left most families in Gaza highly<br />

vulnerable to further shocks. Eighty percent of people in Gaza depend on social assistance, while social transfers (both cash and<br />

in-kind) have become an important source of income for the majority of households, accounting for approximately 16 percent<br />

of total household consumption overall and 31 percent among the poorest households prior to the assault. Some 72 percent of<br />

people were either food insecure or vulnerable to food insecurity, even when taking into account UN food distributions to almost<br />

1.1 million people. For as long as the closure continues, levels of food insecurity will remain high.<br />

Impact of the Assault<br />

Gaza families have shown marked resilience to these stresses, drawing upon their extended community networks to provide<br />

informal safety nets. However, the aftermath of this assault will strain those remarkable networks, as food prices soar, new families<br />

fall into poverty, and others are pushed further down. Greater food insecurity now exists, exacerbated by massive displacement,<br />

destruction in the agriculture/fishery sector, lack of cooking gas, fuel, and cooking utensils, and limited access to water.<br />

Thousands of households have lost income sources (due to the death, disabling, or unemployment of workers) and homes<br />

(with tens of thousands of houses destroyed or damaged). Some 1,500 children have lost one or both parents. Over 1,000 newly<br />

injured people will be permanently disabled, creating greater social and financial responsibility on their family and social safety<br />

nets. Psychosocial trauma is widespread, making recovering from loss a longer process for all, particularly children, bereaved<br />

families, and inhabitants of the most impacted neighborhoods.


32<br />

The National Early Recovery and Reconstruction Plan for Gaza 2014<br />

SECTION 3: GAZA RAPID ASSESSMENT OF DAMAGES AND NEEDS<br />

3.1.2 Health and Psychosocial Well-Being<br />

Prior to the Assault<br />

Even before the latest assault, health services in Gaza were strained by a rapidly increasing population, financial constraints, and<br />

scarcity of medical supplies. Medical equipment experienced frequent breakdowns caused by power interruptions and water<br />

impurities, among other factors. Most existing health facilities were in need of rehabilitation and upgrading in order to ensure<br />

quality services and meet the needs of a growing population.<br />

Impact of the Assault<br />

Over half of Gaza’s hospitals and clinics are affected. Fifteen of 32 hospitals are damaged, with three of them closed. Fortyfive<br />

of 97 primary health care clinics in Gaza are damaged (with four completely destroyed) and 17 are closed, along with<br />

two psychiatric clinics and the only rehabilitation center in Gaza. Twenty-five ambulances were destroyed or damaged. Health<br />

workers have also suffered seriously: 23 have died and 83 were injured during attacks on ambulances and hospitals.<br />

The current crisis has illuminated the dramatic<br />

effects of the massive shortage in the availability of<br />

medical supplies and services. In the aftermath of<br />

the assault, health services will be in exponentially<br />

greater demand, resulting from the large number of<br />

injuries, increased public health risks, and massive<br />

psychological trauma.<br />

Details of the losses suffered by private and NGO health<br />

facilities are not yet known (apart from the destruction<br />

of Al-Wafa Hospital, the only rehabilitation hospital in<br />

Gaza, counted above), but high reconstruction and<br />

re-equipping costs are assumed.<br />

Given the high number of children injured and the relative youth of Gaza residents, the cumulative psychological and physical<br />

impact of this and previous assaults represents a serious and long-term responsibility for the health system. Newly injured patients<br />

were released prematurely to relieve pressure on hospital services and will require follow-up and further treatment. Over 40,000<br />

pregnant women cannot access antenatal care, which puts their unborn children at risk. The UN estimates that 373,000 children<br />

will need direct and specialized psychological counseling, while all students will require some form of psychological assistance.<br />

3.1.3 Education<br />

Prior to the Assault<br />

Education in Gaza has long been characterized by overcrowding and unsafe conditions (approximately 37.3 students per class).<br />

The 2008 assault resulted in 217 schools and 60 kindergartens being damaged, including 18 facilities damaged beyond repair: the<br />

ongoing blockade has prevented the urgently needed reconstruction of damaged schools and construction of new ones. The<br />

annual increase of students in Gaza is nearly four percent (approximately 10,000 new students) and 79 percent of Governmental<br />

schools and 88 percent of UNRWA schools operate on a double shift system. In 2012, the UN found that 200 additional schools<br />

were needed and another 190 schools would be needed by 2020.<br />

Impact of the Assault<br />

The Ministry of Education and Higher Education (MOEHE) started the school year on September 14, three weeks later than<br />

the scheduled August 24. However, damage is widespread and severe in the primary and secondary education sector across


33<br />

government and UNRWA systems: 26 schools<br />

were destroyed, 122 schools were damaged,<br />

and a further 113 schools were used as shelters<br />

for IDPs. In total, over 559,000 students have<br />

been affected by damage to Gaza’s schools and<br />

universities. Damage was greatest in the Gaza<br />

governorate, particularly in the east, where nine<br />

schools were destroyed and 39 damaged.<br />

Damage was also significant in pre-school,<br />

private, and higher education facilities,<br />

although detailed assessments are not yet<br />

complete. Half of all universities in Gaza<br />

are damaged, including Al Aqsa University,<br />

Palestine Technical College, the Technology<br />

and Science University, and Islamic University.<br />

The impact on students will be long-term and will result in further over-crowding and potentially irregular schedules for<br />

Government and UN students, who may have to travel further – and at greater cost – to alternate schools. Damaged facilities<br />

are likely to require three to ten months for reconstruction or rehabilitation. Over 56,000 IDPs remain sheltering in 41 UNRWA<br />

schools and two government schools.<br />

Educational resources, technologies, supplies, and hygiene facilities were damaged or destroyed on a large-scale, particularly<br />

following the destruction of the MOEHE warehouse: replacing them will be complicated by shortages of fuel and materials, leading<br />

to sharp increase in educational costs. Families of students who have lost their houses would need support in order to ensure the<br />

availability of school uniforms and stationary for their children. Psychosocial support of affected students will also be essential.<br />

3.1.4 Civil Society, Community-Based Organizations, and Faith-Based Institutions<br />

Prior to the Assault<br />

Civil society organizations (CSO) have long had a strong presence in Palestine. CSOs have played a key role in service delivery –<br />

especially in the health sector.<br />

Impact of the Assault<br />

Full details of the damages inflicted on the civil society in Gaza are not yet available, although an estimated 222 social protection<br />

organizations and charities were damaged.<br />

Places of worship were also damaged, including a number of historical significance. In total, 296 mosques were affected (with 73<br />

completely destroyed), three churches were damaged, and 10 cemeteries were damaged.


34<br />

The National Early Recovery and Reconstruction Plan for Gaza 2014<br />

SECTION 3: GAZA RAPID ASSESSMENT OF DAMAGES AND NEEDS<br />

3.2 Infrastructure<br />

Residents of Gaza are struggling to cope without secure supplies of water, sanitation, and power. Nearly half a million people<br />

were displaced by danger or housing loss. Around 110,000 people will remain displaced long-term. The implications of the<br />

damage left by the July/August assault are vast, in financial cost, human suffering, and public health. However, the scale of the<br />

damage also brings attention to the chronic vulnerabilities of infrastructure in Gaza. As numerous UN reports have highlighted,<br />

the water, sanitation, and energy sectors are close to failure, potentially making Gaza an unlivable place by as soon as 2020.<br />

3.2.1 Clearance of Rubble and Explosive Remnants of War<br />

Impact of the Assault<br />

The Israeli military shelled and bombarded Gaza for seven weeks from sea, air, and land. Over 2.5 million tons of rubble are spread<br />

across Gaza, particularly in areas that experienced the heaviest bombardment, such as Beit Hanoun, Beit Lahia and Shujaiyeh<br />

(Gaza City), Khuza’a, and Rafah.<br />

An estimated 20,000 tons of explosives were fired by the Israeli military: some 5,000 ERWs have yet to be secured, according to<br />

the UN. As a result, ERWs currently pose a major threat to children, farmers, IDPs returning home, reconstruction workers, and<br />

humanitarian workers. UNMAS estimates that 713,000 Gaza residents could be affected and that children are at greatest risk, with<br />

an estimated 450,000 in danger of accidentally triggering an ERW. Well-placed concerns about ERWs are likely to deter IDPs from<br />

returning to their homes, if still standing. Rubble clearance will also be complicated by hidden ERWs.<br />

The Police Explosive Ordnance Disposal (EOD) unit in Gaza has already identified probable location of ERWs and begun removing<br />

and disarming ERWs, when possible. In Khan Younis alone, 1,800 disabling and destroying missions took place during the assault.<br />

The EOD Unit continued working throughout the assault, without specialized tools or safety equipment: four EOD staff (including<br />

the unit head) were killed, along with two journalists, in August while attempting to disarm an ERW.<br />

3.2.2 Energy<br />

Prior to the Assault<br />

Gaza was suffering from an electricity deficit prior to the July/August assault, as a result of fuel scarcity, inadequate infrastructure, power<br />

leakage, limited financial resources, and impediments on sector development caused by Israeli occupation and restrictions. With the<br />

power supply at 200MW of the required 450MW prior to the assault, daily power cuts were normal (lasting as long as 16 hours in certain<br />

areas), restricting private sector operation and affecting the provision of essential services such as water supply, sewage treatment and<br />

removal, and the functioning of health services. Upgrades to the network, improved fuel resources, and additional power lines were<br />

already critically needed to meet current needs alone. Yet, without strategic interventions to create sustainable capacity growth, the<br />

energy crisis will continue: by 2020, Gaza’s energy supply will have to at least double to meet demand.


35<br />

Impact of the Assault<br />

Less than 30 percent of electricity demand is now being met. Damaged assets include the main storage warehouse, network<br />

structures, the north Gaza substation, and the only local electricity power plant. The Gaza Power Plant’s fuel treatment and<br />

storage facilities were completely destroyed. In addition, only 10 percent of the electricity received is utilized due to the extensive<br />

damage sustained by the internal distribution network. For instance, severe network damage means that, in eastern Gaza City,<br />

Beit Hanoun, Khuza’a and eastern of Rafah, the majority of households there are not likely to receive electricity.<br />

3.2.3 Water and Waste Water<br />

Prior to the Assault<br />

The water and waste water sectors were at crisis point prior to the assault. Gaza relies almost completely on its coastal aquifer,<br />

which is being over-abstracted and infiltrated by sewage, pollution, and sea-water. The aquifer could become unusable as early<br />

as 2016 and only seven percent of operating water wells produce potable water according to WHO standards. In general, only<br />

10 percent of water in Gaza is now potable. Although the water network coverage is almost universal, its distribution efficiency<br />

was down to 55 percent. As a result, access to clean water was already limited, with average consumption at 70-90 percent of<br />

the global WHO daily standard.<br />

Impact of the Assault<br />

The attacks severely impacted the water, sanitation<br />

and hygiene sectors, leaving at least 450,000 people<br />

vulnerable to serious public health risks. Primary<br />

water pipelines, water reservoirs, house connections,<br />

sewage pipelines, wastewater treatment plants, and<br />

sewage pumping stations were directly targeted<br />

and damaged. Well pumping stations, the waste<br />

water treatment plants, and the desalination process<br />

are now disabled by electricity and fuel shortages.<br />

Between 20 and 30 percent of water and sewage<br />

networks remain damaged, mostly in Khan Younis,<br />

and 12 percent of wells were destroyed or damaged,<br />

mostly in Gaza City, Beit Hanoun, and Deir Al-Balah.<br />

Around 90 percent of water (and sanitation) facilities rely on electric power for pumping water to the population. Water provision<br />

is now cut or severely restricted, with residents of North Gaza and Khan Younis most affected. Between 30 to 50 percent of<br />

household water storage capacity was damaged and many households lack the electricity or pumps to fill water storage when<br />

water is available. Despite rapid repair by the Coastal Water Management Utility (CWMU) of 80 percent of priority repairs to<br />

infrastructure, between 20 to 30 percent (450,000 people) are unable to access municipal water. Costs of desalinated and<br />

tinkered water have increased, further limiting access to water for vulnerable families and creating financial stress for the larger<br />

population, which was already dependent on private water vendors prior to the assault.<br />

Sanitation is also a priority: services are damaged and the massive number of IDPs are overwhelming the public shelters or<br />

their shared accommodations. This represents a serious imminent public health risk, with infectious diseases reportedly on the<br />

rise, particularly amongst IDPs. Only 50 percent of wastewater is treated and is flowing into the sea and streets or mixing with<br />

water, posing a severe environmental and public health threat. Although solid waste services are functioning in most areas,<br />

collection is infrequent and residents are dumping waste within their communities. Lack of spare parts and fuel for operation<br />

and maintenance are likely to cause further service disruptions.

SECTION 3: GAZA RAPID ASSESSMENT OF DAMAGES AND NEEDS<br />

3.2.4 Shelter and Housing<br />

Prior to the Assault<br />

Gaza was already facing a housing shortage of over 75,000 units, as a result of a rapidly growing and young population, import<br />

restrictions on construction materials, and significant damage and destruction during previous assaults.<br />

Impact of the Assault<br />

Further severe stress was caused by the July/August assault, which affected around 60,000 housing units (or 18 percent of Gaza’s<br />

housing stock). Around 20,000 housing units were totally destroyed or severely damaged. A further 40,000 housing units were<br />

partially damaged, impacting a further 260,000 people.<br />

One in four Gaza residents were displaced by the Israeli bombardment, forced into public shelters or shared accommodation: of<br />

that number, over 68 percent were displaced by housing damage. Weeks after the ceasefire, as this report goes to print, some<br />

110,000 IDPs remain in public shelters or with host families.<br />

3.2.5 Government Buildings and Other Public Infrastructure<br />

Impact of the Assault<br />

The impact of the July/August assault was universal on public infrastructure. Municipalities, central government authorities, and<br />

UNRWA report destruction and damage to facilities, and critical operational infrastructure and equipment. In total, 78 public<br />

buildings were destroyed, adding to the 28 public buildings destroyed in previous assaults.<br />

3.2.6 Border Crossings<br />

The 2006 Access and Movement Agreement (AMA) identified six border crossings for commercial and traveler use, as well as<br />

the international airport and commercial seaport. Currently, only three border crossings are functional, with minimal movement<br />

allowed across all three. Other crossings and access (including the safe passage to the West Bank) are not open, and their facilities<br />

range from being under-developed, damaged, deteriorated, or destroyed. This non-compliance with the AMA has suppressed<br />

economic growth and effectively imprisoned 1.8 million people.<br />

3.2.7 Roads<br />

Impact of the Assault<br />

The municipal road networks suffered the most damage. One in every two kilometers of regional roads in Gaza were already<br />

unpaved or damaged, as a result of damage in previous Israeli incursions or because rehabilitation was hindered by the blockade.<br />

Further damage to roads during the assault impeded rapid response and civilian evacuation and continues to constrain provision<br />

of basic and critical services. Khan Younis, Gaza, and North Gaza experienced the greatest road damage respectively.


37<br />

3.3 Economic Sector<br />

The private sector in Gaza has undergone more than a decade of strife since 2000. The nearly complete halt in imports to and<br />

exports from Gaza after 2007 resulted in a dramatic drop in manufacturing and agricultural outputs, as most items essential to<br />

private sector revitalization remain on banned lists and are inaccessible.<br />

Although the blockade was slightly eased in 2010 to allow imports of consumer goods and construction materials for donor<br />

funded projects, restrictions on imports of construction and raw materials to the private sector are still fully in place; similarly,<br />

exports to the West Bank and Israeli markets, which traditionally absorbed around 85 percent of Gaza’s exports, are still restricted.<br />

Combined with the destruction of the tunnels that were the only other unofficial supply line for Gaza (enabling an estimated<br />

$700 million annual trade), the blockade has effectively suffocated the economy. Significantly, engagement in innovative and<br />

business-upgrading activities has dropped among Palestinian firms in recent years, driven primarily by diminished levels of<br />

activity among Gaza firms.<br />

The most recent assault has been a further, severe shock. Thousands of factories and commercial establishments are damaged or<br />

destroyed and the agricultural and fishing industries are in ruins. Unemployment, which was already at unacceptably high levels,<br />

has been exacerbated. Sustainable recovery will require significant efforts to generate private sector-led growth.<br />

3.3.1 Agriculture and Fishing<br />

Prior to the Assault<br />

Since the 1990s, agriculture in Gaza has been in a steady and serious decline. While Israeli military restrictions on access and<br />

movement have been destructive in all economic sectors, the agricultural sector has been one of the worst hit. Seventeen<br />

percent of Gaza is largely off-limits, including 35 percent of its agricultural land, while more than 3,000 fishermen do not have<br />

access to 85 percent of the maritime areas agreed in the 1995 Oslo Accords. As a result, fewer crops are now grown and the fish<br />

catch has decreased dramatically. Overall, land and sea restrictions affect 178,000 people, 12 percent of Gaza residents, and result<br />

in annual estimated losses of almost $80 million from agricultural production and fishing.


38<br />

The National Early Recovery and Reconstruction Plan for Gaza 2014<br />

SECTION 3: GAZA RAPID ASSESSMENT OF DAMAGES AND NEEDS<br />

Impact of the Assault<br />

The agricultural sector was directly targeted by during the July/August assault: 30 percent of agricultural land was damaged.<br />

Much of the best agricultural land was part of the operational area of the Israeli military and is assumed to be contaminated by<br />

ERWs. These will need to be cleared before farmers can be confident of working their land safely.<br />

An estimated 40 percent of livestock died: half the poultry stock and hundreds of sheep and cows perished in the bombardment<br />

or from lack of feed and water, when owners could not access their farms. A large number of the irrigation wells, irrigation<br />

systems, greenhouses, productive trees, post-harvest facilities, and agricultural equipment were also targeted and destroyed.<br />

The areas most affected in the agricultural sector are Khan Younis, followed by Rafah, Gaza, North Gaza, and Middle Gaza.<br />

The fishery sector was also greatly affected: fishermen could not access the sea for the duration for the assault and many boats<br />

were destroyed. In the first month of the assault, nine percent of the annual catch was lost, impacting the already limited,<br />

protein-low Gaza diet.<br />

3.3.2 Industry and Manufacturing<br />

Prior to the Assault<br />

The industrial sector in Gaza is mainly comprised of small and medium sized firms representing 94 percent of the total industrial<br />

enterprises in Gaza. Over 50 percent of enterprises across the industrial, furniture, garment, textile, and agribusiness sectors were<br />

closed over recent years due to a combination of physical damage inflicted by the conflicts and deteriorating market conditions<br />

caused by trade restrictions. The Palestinian Federation of Industries (PFI) reports that the number of industrial workers dropped<br />

from 350,000 in 2005 to less than 15,000 in mid-2013, which is a strong indication of the shrinking industrial base in Gaza.<br />

Electricity has become the top binding constraint reported by Palestinian firms in Gaza, second only to political instability. The<br />

blockade halted Gaza’s exports, virtually ending the operations of key export sectors: the number of truckloads that currently exit<br />

Gaza is less than four percent of the pre-blockade 2006 rate and one percent of the 2000 rate, averaging one truck only every<br />

two days in 2013 and 2014.<br />

Impact of the Assault<br />

Gaza’s weakened industrial firms suffered both direct and indirect losses as a result of the assault. In total, 990 industrial enterprises<br />

were impacted: 297 factories and workshops were destroyed and 693 were partially damaged. The construction industry suffered<br />

the biggest losses, making up 28 percent of damaged industries, while the greatest concentration of damage was in Gaza City,<br />

where 68 percent of the damaged industries were located. Many industrial facilities had to suspend their production because of<br />

power and fuel shortages. In turn, the closure of facilities and suspension of production resulted in dismissal of workers because<br />

firms were unable to pay wages.<br />

Although companies in the Gaza Industrial Estate (GIE) were not directly targeted, infrastructure at the GIE was damaged, restricting<br />

the operations of firms within the estate even after the assault.

3.3.3 Trade and Services<br />

Prior to the Assault<br />

Trade activities in Gaza are extremely difficult under strict Israeli measures and full control over the crossings. This has deprived<br />

firms of access to West Bank and international markets. The internal trade sector in Gaza is mainly comprised of micro and small<br />

enterprises representing 99 percent of the total commercial enterprises. The trade sector is well connected with agriculture and<br />

manufacturing. Without a scale up in these sectors, retail and wholesale activities will not be able to flourish.<br />

Israeli movement and access restrictions have limited the telecommunications sector for years, including on the launch of a<br />

second Palestinian mobile phone operator, the import of equipment, and the movement of personnel into and out of Gaza.<br />

International tourism has become a moribund industry due to restrictions on entry into Gaza, although domestic (internal)<br />

tourism has grown, as Palestinians seek leisure within the confines of the blockaded borders of Gaza. However, this is insufficient<br />

to occupy the 15 hotels.<br />

Impact of the Assault<br />

Nearly 4,200 commercial enterprises suffered during the assault: around 1,255 were destroyed and 2,928 were partially damaged.<br />

Over 90 percent are small stores.<br />

The scale of damage and destruction to telecommunications (telephony and internet) infrastructure is reported to be significant,<br />

with the damage mainly in the fixed line network. Rehabilitation will depend on access to materials from the external market<br />

and entrance of specialized personnel into Gaza. The mobile communications network is seriously disrupted in a number of<br />

Gaza districts: 225 stations have no power supply and 14 stations were destroyed.<br />

The assault has dealt a further blow to the tourism industry. Many of important sites were damaged during the July/August assault,<br />

including three submitted by the Government for addition to UNESCO’s list of World Heritage sites.<br />

Five bank branches were damaged during the bombardment. The degree of indirect losses to the banking sector will become<br />

clear as the situation stabilizes and banks determine which customers will be unable to pay back their loans, and the impact of<br />

this on total non-performing loans.<br />

3.3.4 Employment and Livelihood<br />

Prior to the Assault<br />

Unemployment was at 45 percent (after a sharp increase from 28 percent following the end of the tunnel trade in mid-2013):<br />

nearly 70 percent of young people were unemployed.<br />

Impact of the Assault<br />

While final figures are not yet available about the level of unemployment post-assault, the widespread devastation of the<br />

economic sector and the prolonged suspension of work indicate that the rate of unemployment has jumped significantly and<br />

will remain higher than the pre-assault rate for a prolonged period.

The National Early Recovery and Reconstruction Plan for Gaza 2014<br />

SECTION 3: GAZA RAPID ASSESSMENT OF DAMAGES AND NEEDS<br />

3.4 Governance Sector<br />

A functional and unified public administration under the National Consensus Government is pivotal to the success of the<br />

recovery and reconstruction plan, to stabilizing Gaza, and to providing services to its citizens. Within the period of this Plan,<br />

the Government, in parallel to leading and implementing the recovery and reconstruction effort, will need to assume effective<br />

authority and sole governmental responsibilities in Gaza; consolidate authority over ministries and Government agencies and<br />

reintegrate them with national institutions; harmonize and rationalize the civil service in Gaza; and gradually assume security<br />

responsibilities as part of a comprehensive security sector reform, starting with the assumption of policing responsibilities under<br />

the authority of the Government to maintain civic law and order.<br />

The scale of destruction and massive displacement as a result of the Israeli assault could potentially lead to destabilized security,<br />

if immediate relief and early recovery are not provided adequately. Accordingly, the first objective in the short-term is to ensure<br />

the operations of central and local government institutions for relief, early recovery, and reconstruction of Gaza. Achieving this<br />

will require a temporary solution for the personnel engaged by the previous de facto authorities post-June 2007 who have not<br />

received regular payments for a prolonged period of up to one year. This temporary mechanism will be limited in time and<br />

function in parallel to beginning the process of harmonization and rationalization of the civil service, aimed at determining the<br />

retention and retraining of existing civil servants who are not currently in active duty and the possible integration of personnel<br />

who were recruited over the past seven years by the previous de-facto authorities, following the determination of their status.<br />

3.4.1 Operational Capacity of Central Government Institutions<br />

The consolidation of the public administration under the authority of the National Consensus Government requires a careful<br />

examination of available modalities within the existing fiscal limitations of the budget. The civil service employees in Gaza<br />

have not been able to assume their responsibilities yet and return to their work. In addition, those employed by the previous<br />

de facto authorities after June 2007 have not received regular payments for months, and their status remains undefined. These<br />

include some 10,000 personnel in the education and health sectors, who perform vital social services for the population. This<br />

is in addition to several thousand civil police officers and members of the security apparatus. This situation is not tenable and<br />

threatens the operational capacity of central government institutions to implement early recovery and reconstruction programs.<br />

The consolidation of the public administration and service provision will further be complicated by the immediate impact of the<br />

assault, which resulted in the destruction of public buildings, along with government equipment and vehicles.<br />

3.4.2 Operational Capacity of Local Government Institutions<br />

Municipalities are direct providers of essential daily services to their citizens and as such play a key role in recovery and<br />

reconstruction efforts.<br />

Municipalities to a large degree depend on revenues for services and municipal fees and taxes. In impoverished Gaza, however,<br />

citizens are not able to pay these service fees and taxes. As a result, municipal personnel have not received regular payments<br />

for months, and currently only core personnel is reporting to work. While conditions vary slightly between municipalities, the<br />

operational capacity of municipalities has been compromised during the most critical period. Especially in the current recovery<br />

and reconstruction phase, it is vital that municipalities work at their maximum capacity.<br />

Municipalities have also suffered direct losses. Municipal facilities and equipment have been destroyed and damaged throughout<br />

Gaza, though Rafah, Beit Lahia, and Gaza City incurred most of the damages. These damages further undermine the operational<br />

capacity of the affected municipalities.


41<br />

3.4.3 Rule of Law and Human Rights<br />

The weeks of shelling and bombardment have compromised rule of law and human rights in Gaza beyond the assault. Law<br />

enforcement infrastructure, courts, prosecution departments, and family courts, as well as the only women’s shelter were also<br />

destroyed or damaged. The Palestinian Bar Association lost eight of its lawyers.<br />

While enforcement capacities have been weakened, protection needs have increased substantially, including at IDP centers.<br />

Considering the massive loss of lives and property and the corresponding need to find alternative shelter, it is expected that rule<br />

of law institutions will be confronted with a strong increase in caseloads related to land, property, and housing rights, as well as<br />

with personal status, heritage, and custody issues.<br />

The disproportional killing of civilians and the massive destruction of civilian infrastructure all point out to serious violations of<br />

International Humanitarian Law by Israel. Human rights organizations based in Gaza and the West Bank have mobilized their<br />

resources and are cooperating in documenting and investigating violations of International Humanitarian Law. These activities are<br />

vital for ensuring accountability and need to be conducted at the very early stage, at times ahead of the removal of rubble and<br />

other damages.<br />

3.4.4 Implementation and Coordination<br />

As noted above, widespread destruction and government transitions have impacted the capacity and resources of the<br />

Government. There is a need to upgrade the operational capacity of central government institutions to implement this Plan.

SECTION4<br />

RECOVERY AND<br />

RECONSTRUCTION<br />

INTERVENTIONS<br />

Relief activities are already underway to respond to humanitarian needs and<br />

increase availability of essential services. The interventions outlined below build<br />

upon ongoing and planned relief activities and are designed to be an effective<br />

bridge between current critical needs and a more sustainable response to new<br />

and chronic needs in Gaza. This is particularly important because of the decline in<br />

the quality of services and economic conditions before the July/August assault.<br />

In order to address the needs of people in Gaza in an integrated and coordinated<br />

way, priority interventions must ensure that sectoral and sub-sectoral needs are<br />

considered in relation to each other. Interventions in one sector will reinforce those<br />

in others. For example, an improved supply of energy will increase availability of<br />

water and sanitation services, improving living conditions (particularly for IDPs),<br />

reducing public health risks, and protecting the vulnerable (such as women and<br />

children). Energy is also critical to reviving the private sector, which will be an<br />

important supply and employment resource during recovery and reconstruction.<br />

The sequencing and prioritization of recovery and reconstruction activities<br />

recommended below is a result of the careful consideration of the various subsectors<br />

of the Plan.<br />

SECTION 4: RECOVERY AND RECONSTRUCTION INTERVENTIONS<br />

4.1 Social Sector<br />

Response in the social sector will be quick and significant. Social protection programs are being expanded to accommodate the<br />

newly poor and vulnerable. Education and health services will be strengthened to cope with the systemic shocks triggered by<br />

the assault and the increased demand on services.<br />

4.1.1 Social Protection and Social Safety Nets<br />

Relief Early Recovery Reconstruction Total<br />

$230m $8m $80m $317m<br />

Tens of thousands of families are struggling to cope in the aftermath of destruction, death, and financial loss. Over 30,000<br />

households (around 172,500 individuals) are estimated to have newly fallen into poverty and food insecurity, increasing the<br />

already substantial number of people dependent on aid. There is an immediate need to significantly scale up the Government’s<br />

existing social protection programs as a result, including:<br />

• Cash Transfer Program for 95,000 households (up from a pre-assault 65,000 household level)<br />

• Health insurance coverage for 70,000 households (up from 40,000 household level)<br />

• Regular food assistance (through WFP) for 55,000 households (up from 25,000 households)<br />

These scaled up programs are expected to last up to two years.<br />

A second exceptional food distribution will be provided to all households not already receiving regular food assistance (estimated<br />

to include 730,000 households). Short-term assistance will also be provided to newly displaced and conflict-affected refugee<br />

families, including food parcels to IDPs in shelters and non-food items (NFI) to IDPs and refugee families.<br />

Early recovery interventions will seek to create or strengthen longer-term support, including raising awareness of and responding<br />

to the emerging needs of refugee women, providing reimbursement of medical and burial expenses, providing new orphans<br />

with sponsorship cash allowance, and exempting 140,000 students from school fees (up from 120,000). Child protection systems<br />

will be strengthened, including child protection services, helplines, referrals, and resilience building activities, particularly in<br />

response to children living in displaced families.


45<br />

Longer-term assistance projects will aim to strengthen vulnerable households (e.g., households headed by women or including<br />

the disabled) by supporting income-generating projects and encourage newly disabled people to re-integrate through<br />

vocational training and home adaptations.<br />

Protection for women against gender-based violence (GBV) will be increased through multiple interventions, including a<br />

rapid assessment, mapping of available services for women and girls, strengthening of protection resources (e.g., safe places,<br />

protection committees, and referral pathways), and awareness raising amongst women and their community about GBV and<br />

specialized services.<br />

A new assessment of vulnerability in Gaza will also be conducted, based on a survey of household expenditure and consumption.<br />

4.1.2 Health and Psychosocial Well-Being<br />

Relief Early Recovery Reconstruction Total<br />

$14m $159m $45m $218m<br />

In the aftermath of the assault, health services are overburdened, under-resourced, and still very much in demand. Interventions<br />

must focus on ensuring hospitals, clinics, and other health providers are able to respond, now and in the long-term. Primary<br />

health care services are crucial to prevent outbreaks of diseases and – in the relief phase - will be provided to IDPs in shelters,<br />

particularly new mothers.<br />

Health facilities will be provided with medication and medical supplies to replenish stocks exhausted during the July/August<br />

assault. Eight hospitals, 21 primary health care clinics, two psychiatric clinics and a clinic for the handicapped need repair and<br />

re-equipping, following damage to physical infrastructure, equipment, and furniture. Specialized medical equipment also needs<br />

repairing or replacing: electromechanical, medical equipment, and spare parts will also be provided, along with 25 ambulances.<br />

During the recovery phase, the health system will be strengthened by analyzing and responding to needs in health human<br />

resource, health information, medical stocks, non-communicable disease care standards, and emergency preparedness. The<br />

cooling chain for vaccines will be restored, with capacity improvements, and provide a new stock of vaccines.<br />

Psychosocial support will also be a key early recovery intervention, including for displaced families, including young girls and<br />

elderly people, 100,000 children whose families lost their homes, new widows and women whose household has lost incomeearners,<br />

GBV survivors, 1,000 newly disabled, 1,500 new orphans, and UNRWA staff who worked during the assault.<br />

Specialized protection mechanisms will be established to serve 60,000 highly vulnerable children with psychosocial services.<br />

Schools will also serve as a mechanism for responding to trauma amongst children, including awareness-raising and counselling<br />

sessions for school teachers, students, staff, and school safety committees; school-based activities to promote non-violence,<br />

child protection, and psycho-social support by teachers and counselors; and psycho-social support to pupils and teachers to<br />

improve coping skills.<br />

During the reconstruction phase, five primary health clinics and two rehabilitation centers destroyed during the assault will be<br />

reconstructed and equipped. Finally, a comprehensive review of health sector emergency preparedness and response plans will<br />

be carried out.

SECTION 4: RECOVERY AND RECONSTRUCTION INTERVENTIONS<br />

4.1.3 Education<br />

Relief Early Recovery Reconstruction Total<br />

$1m $45m $75m $121m<br />

With half the Gaza population under 18, education can be used as a primary mechanism for social and psychosocial stabilization<br />

throughout Gaza. Schools can provide much needed structure and normalcy for children, who are suffering from direct or indirect<br />

trauma. Damage was done across the entire educational spectrum: from pre-schools to universities. There is a massive scale of<br />

rebuilding, repairing, and re-equipping that must be done in governmental, UN, private, and NGO schools and universities.<br />

Schools will cater for students with existing or new disabilities (caused during the assault) who either have lost their specialized<br />

equipment (e.g., mobility aids or hearing aids) in the assault or have new needs. Emergency education will also be provided to<br />

children living in IDP shelters.<br />

As the school year starts, new school supplies (e.g., uniforms, bags, and stationery) are being distributed to students, with a focus<br />

on internally displaced students.<br />

To promote educational early recovery, 144 government and UNRWA schools, one private school, three pre-schools, and four<br />

universities will be repaired and re-equipped. A further twenty-two governmental schools, two pre-schools, and two university<br />

buildings will need to be reconstructed.<br />

Since school capacity was already insufficient in Government and UNRWA schools, reconstruction plans will aim at creating<br />

sufficient capacity for both current and future students.<br />

Therefore, reconstruction plans will aim at creating sufficient capacity for both current and future student population. UNRWA<br />

will also build transitional schooling facilities for refugees. A number of programs will be introduced to strengthen educational<br />

delivery and respond to the aftermath of the assault.


47<br />

4.1.4 Civil Society, Community-Based Organizations, and Faith-Based<br />

Institutions<br />

Relief Early Recovery Reconstruction Total<br />

- $4m $41m $45m<br />

Civil society organizations suffered heavily during the assault with over 220 organizations experiencing significant damage.<br />

These charities and NGOs will receive a one-time payment to help them re-establish their services to their 180,000 beneficiaries.<br />

Nearly 200 mosques will be rehabilitated and 73 mosques will be reconstructed. Reconstruction will also be undertaken for a<br />

range of archaeological and cultural sites.<br />

The National Early Recovery and Reconstruction Plan for Gaza 2014<br />

SECTION 4: RECOVERY AND RECONSTRUCTION INTERVENTIONS<br />

4.2 Infrastructure Sector<br />

Immediate response, as part of the relief and early recovery effort, is essential to ease individual suffering and increase<br />

access to basic services. However, given that Gaza’s infrastructure was already at breaking point prior to the assault,<br />

short term fixes cannot evolve into long-term solutions. Equally, the infrastructure reconstruction effort cannot simply<br />

be a re-building of pre-existing infrastructure. Instead, reconstruction efforts will be informed by long-term, cross-sector<br />

infrastructure planning that will establish effective integrated infrastructure networks as the basis for long-term sustainable<br />

social and economic development.<br />

A critical pre-requisite for infrastructure development is access and movement. Even the most urgent need or the most strategic<br />

priority cannot be met if the blockade is not ended. Without materials and fuel, networks cannot be mended, houses cannot be<br />

built, and a healthy and sustainable future cannot be assured<br />

4.2.1 Clearance of Rubble and Explosive Remnants of War<br />

Relief Early Recovery Reconstruction Total<br />

- $20m $14m $34m<br />

Two and a half million tons of rubble need to be removed, the mass clearance can be divided between the early recovery phase<br />

and the reconstruction phase. Although it is not suitable for rebuilding, the rubble removed during the reconstruction phase<br />

can be reused for road rehabilitation, curbs stones, and road paving. Large chunks of concrete can be reused as wave breakers<br />

for the fishing harbor.<br />

Given the high tonnage of munitions used during this assault and the December 2008 assault, there is a significant risk that ERWs<br />

will be hidden in the rubble. Activities will include rapid assessments, emergency ERW (and explosive hazards) risk education<br />

for civilians and humanitarian actors in highly impacted neighborhoods, as well as the oversight and monitoring of marking,<br />

collection, and disposal of ERW by the Police EOD teams as and when the security and political situations allow. Activities would<br />

begin in the early recovery phase and continue through the reconstruction phase.


49<br />

4.2.2 Energy<br />

Relief Early Recovery Reconstruction Total<br />

- $32m $153m $185m<br />

A steady and sufficient supply of electricity is essential to Gaza’s recovery. Immediate repairs are needed to the badly damaged<br />

grid. A temporary storage facility will be found for electrical equipment, until the construction of a new main storage facility for<br />

electrical equipment is completed as part of reconstruction.<br />

An initial repair of the Gaza Power Plant has been completed to allow for its operation. In addition, planned early recovery will<br />

see the restoration of the main power lines for supply from Israel and the provision of electrical materials to repair networks. In<br />

parallel, the possible expansion of supply of electricity through existing lines from Egypt is being explored. Other potential shortterm<br />

alternatives are being evaluated, which include a connection to a floating naval power station.<br />

However, the pre-existing energy deficit requires more than an attempt to return to the cost-inefficient status quo. In the longterm,<br />

the Government will promote the cost-saving conversion of the Gaza Power Plant to natural gas from industrial diesel by<br />

the private sector.<br />

4.2.3 Water and Waste Water<br />

Relief Early Recovery Reconstruction Total<br />

$40m $80m $116m $236m<br />

While pressing health risks justify immediate and primary focus on repairs, the water and sanitation sector is facing serious<br />

systemic failings that must be addressed to ensure sustainable water sources and sanitation systems in the future. Long-term<br />

interventions are essential to enable Gaza’s water and sanitation services to accommodate citizen and environmental demands<br />

now and in the future.<br />

Immediate interventions will include the provision of mobile pumps and generators (with spare parts and fuel) for pumping<br />

water and wastewater. Access to clean water will be improved through the provision of chlorine to disinfect water. IDPs will<br />

receive water for drinking and domestic use through water trucks and bulk water storage units and will have access to new<br />

sanitation installations. Water and sanitation support for IDPs will continue through the early recovery phase.


50<br />

The National Early Recovery and Reconstruction Plan for Gaza 2014<br />

SECTION 4: RECOVERY AND RECONSTRUCTION INTERVENTIONS<br />

At the same time, the Palestine Water Authority will upgrade its operational capacity by procuring new machinery, equipment,<br />

and vehicles to replace damaged or destroyed assets. Response to this operational need can be both emergency and early<br />

recovery, but assistance will begin immediately to support rapid system repairs.<br />

Urgent repairs have been done, including the restoration of the Rafah Waste Water Treatment Plant pipeline to the sea, which<br />

stopped partially treated waste water seeping into ground water wells. However, significant numbers of water and sanitation<br />

systems, desalination units, wastewater pumping stations, and wastewater treatment plants need repair, as part of the early<br />

recovery effort.<br />

Municipal public roads, water and sanitation services, and electrical installations will be repaired to facilitate early recovery and<br />

protect public health, particularly of the most vulnerable. Transitional solid waste dumps will be cleared.<br />

In a later phase, water wells, networks, and tanks, and sanitation networks will be completely rebuilt, particularly in areas of<br />

widespread destruction, including in Beit Hanoun, Jabalia, Shujaiyeh, eastern Rafah, and the eastern Khan Younis villages. Those<br />

areas need a complete water and waste water infrastructure solution, which may require a re-design of the networks based on<br />

the new population in the area.<br />

During recovery and reconstruction phases, additional supply of potable water will be provided through supply of more water<br />

from Israel of up to additional 10 MCM per year.<br />

Longer-term responses to the challenges of clean water and sanitation for the people of Gaza must be funded. In light of<br />

the current demand for fresh water and the expected growth by some 60 percent over current levels of abstraction from the<br />

aquifer, the increase of potable water supply in the short-term and the longer-term through the interventions proposed below<br />

are essential to restoring the aquifer. Already the UN Environmental Programme (UNEP) recommends ceasing abstraction<br />

immediately from the aquifer to avoid irreversible damage and enable its recovery, a process which is expected to take decades.<br />

4.2.4 Shelter and Housing<br />

Relief Early Recovery Reconstruction Total<br />

$129m $143m $910m $1,182m<br />

Heavy bombardment of residential areas has damaged or demolished an estimated 60,000 housing units across Gaza, in a sector<br />

still trying to recover from previous bombardments and import bans on construction materials. This housing damage displaced<br />

one in four people in Gaza: at the time of going to print, over 110,000 people still remain in shelters or with host families.


51<br />

A joint program for early recovery and reconstruction will be implemented by the Government, UNRWA, and UNDP to respond<br />

to the needs of refugee and non-refugee families whose houses had been affected by assault. The Government, UNRWA, and<br />

the UNDP will conduct joint shelter assessments of damaged and destroyed homes in Gaza to help facilitate a transition period<br />

for internally displaced persons.<br />

Support to households is based on the extent of the damages suffered. The 20,000 families whose homes have been destroyed<br />

or severely damaged – and therefore are uninhabitable - will receive temporary support measures before their houses can be<br />

reconstructed. These include a rental subsidy/host family support package, which will provide each family between $200-250<br />

per month depending on family size for rental. A one-time reintegration cash allowance will also be provided to the families to<br />

enable the purchase of necessary NFIs. The Government will increase the currently limited rental capacity in Gaza by finishing<br />

4,000 semi-constructed housing units for use as temporary shelters for IDPs over a two-year period.<br />

Based on an assessment of the value of damages, the 40,000 families whose homes were partially damaged during the assault<br />

will receive support of up to $3,000 per household to undertake house repairs.<br />

In the longer-term, the 20,000 destroyed or severely damaged housing units will be rehabilitated or reconstructed by the<br />

Government and UNRWA. This will form the largest part of the housing budget, with the reconstruction cost of a unit estimated<br />

at $60,000 and repair of severe damage at $25,000.<br />

In addition, the plan also covers 1,000 housing units destroyed that will also be reconstructed and rehabilitated to ease the preassault<br />

housing deficit.<br />

The planned reconstruction and repair of these housing units is entirely contingent on the availability of construction materials, which<br />

– in turn – depends on the complete removal of restrictions on imports to the private sector imposed by Israel, in addition to removing<br />

obstacles and delays on the entry of materials to international agencies<br />

4.2.5 Government Buildings and Other Public Infrastructure<br />

Relief Early Recovery Reconstruction Total<br />

- $51m $97m $149m<br />

During the early recovery phase, ministries that were directly affected by the assault will provide temporary buildings and<br />

furniture for their employees. The Government will rehabilitate municipality buildings and facilities (e.g., garages, storehouses).<br />

UNRWA will repair partially damaged schools, health centers, food distribution centers, and offices.<br />

Destroyed buildings will be reconstructed at a later stage and include UNRWA facilities and 106 public buildings (including 28<br />

buildings destroyed in previous assaults). The Government will also repair recreational sites and lighting/electrical works.<br />

4.2.6 Border Crossings<br />

Relief Early Recovery Reconstruction Total<br />

- $5m $50m $55m<br />

In Gaza, the political and security turmoil has rendered the crossings totally dysfunctional or non-existent. A new arrangement<br />

at the crossings between Gaza and Israel and between Gaza and Egypt will be necessary. This Plan provides an overview of key<br />

functionalities to be achieved during the post-assault recovery and reconstruction. However, the details and prioritization of<br />

interventions at border crossings will be finalized in internationally-mediated negotiations.<br />

Trade facilitation is the paramount driving force in the selection of border crossings. Gaza is and will continue to be dependent<br />

on trade with other countries for its economic development. As a result, border crossings must be strategically located.

SECTION 4: RECOVERY AND RECONSTRUCTION INTERVENTIONS<br />

Furthermore, special needs of certain products must be considered in locating and constructing border crossings: for instance,<br />

agricultural products, aggregates, and pipelines need to have dedicated crossings. Basic equipment and operational costs will<br />

be provided during the early recovery phase to facilitate movement through the crossings.<br />

New infrastructure and additional facilities will be constructed for the movement of passengers. In addition to infrastructure<br />

development requirements at the crossings, off site infrastructure leading to the crossings will require development, in particular<br />

suitable access roads. Capacity development will also be required to ensure the effective and sustained operation of the crossings.<br />

The National Early Recovery and Reconstruction Plan for Gaza 2014<br />

SECTION 4: RECOVERY AND RECONSTRUCTION INTERVENTIONS<br />

4.3 Economic Sector<br />

The private sector has a crucial role to play in Gaza’s early recovery and long-term economic growth. It will be the production<br />

and trading source of materials and services needed by Gaza residents to feed and clothe their families, repair their homes,<br />

and rebuild their lives. A stronger private sector can also generate more income-generation opportunities, whether through<br />

employment in existing companies or industries immediately critical to Gaza’s recovery, including construction and agriculture.<br />

In addition, Gaza has in the past demonstrated a high capacity for manufacturing and agricultural production in sectors such as<br />

furniture, textiles, strawberries, and flowers, to name a few. This capacity suggests a great potential for Gaza to serve as a hub for<br />

production of high quality goods and specialty services in the Middle East.<br />

Therefore, rebuilding the private sector entails much more than rebuilding factories and farms damaged in recent years, and<br />

much more than re-creating former linkages to past markets in traditional sectors. The economy in Gaza must be reconceived to<br />

be better placed in responding to world market demands several years from now. This will require investment in a highly skilled,<br />

modern work force, the technology and equipment to produce high quality goods and services that command competitive<br />

prices, and an up-to-date and ever evolving understanding of the demands of world markets. The private sector must be ready<br />

soon to take advantage of the opportunity to serve markets from which it has been effectively banned for many years.<br />

4.3.1 Agriculture and Fishing<br />

Relief Early Recovery Reconstruction Total<br />

- $194m $257m $451m<br />

Given the seasonal nature of agricultural production, farmers will need rapid assistance in repairing agricultural land, crops,<br />

fruit trees, and livestock to restore their livelihoods and improve agricultural supplies to local markets. This will also be required<br />

for fishermen. Detailed assessments will be undertaken to assess damages and understand losses. Compensation for losses is<br />

expected to be a first step in early recovery.


55<br />

Thereafter, Government will implement a series of interventions under the umbrella of an Agricultural Support Program (ASP). These<br />

interventions will provide assistance to small farmers and households who have been affected by the assault on Gaza, including:<br />

1. Assistance to farmers who own or lease lands that have been affected by the Israeli assaults. Affected farmers will be<br />

supported by the provision of financing to procure needed greenhouse materials, water storage and drip irrigation systems,<br />

and seed/plant stock. To the extent possible, agricultural inputs should be procured locally to help restore Gaza industries.<br />

Repair or replacement of physical infrastructure of the agricultural sector will be needed.<br />

2. Assistance to farmers and households who have lost livestock. ASP will provide financial assistance for these farmers to<br />

rehabilitate their livelihood assets; procure livestock and repair their farms.<br />

3. Assistance to fishermen to repair and/or replace their damaged equipment and boats.<br />

ASP will provide an important source of economic security to disadvantaged women and youth.<br />

4.3.2 Industry and Manufacturing<br />

Relief Early Recovery Reconstruction Total<br />

- $75m $284m $359m<br />

The Government will work to support the industrial and manufacturing sector in rebuilding<br />

its capacity and strengthening its future productivity. All industrial firms reporting<br />

damages will undergo a damage assessment that will certify the level of losses and<br />

eligibility for assistance.<br />

Compensation for production losses will be distributed as a first step in early recovery.<br />

Thereafter the Government will implement a series of interventions under the umbrella of<br />

an Industrial Repair Program (IRP). These interventions will rapidly respond to the severe<br />

damage to the private sector and help jump-start the production cycle, including in the<br />

food and construction sectors. These two industries are particularly critical. The food<br />

industry can help provide food security to Gazan citizens, whilst construction firms must<br />

be prepared to have an active role in the reconstruction efforts.<br />

To be eligible for assistance, firms will need to show proven track records of production<br />

in the past, that they are economically viable, or have the potential to resume operations<br />

once equipment or physical infrastructure is restored.<br />

The program will provide financial grants to firms to assist them to:<br />

• Renovate and/or reconstruct destroyed business premises and facilities. Such premises have to be either owned by the applicant or<br />

leased for a minimum of one year from the application date.<br />

• Repair or replace equipment in damaged factories and firms that have lost their core production equipment.<br />

• Acquire office equipment, such as computers, telephones, fax machines, and furniture, to continue their operations.<br />

The implementation approach will stress the importance of job creation not only at the beneficiary level but at the suppliers and service<br />

providers end as well. A cost-sharing mechanism by the firms will be encouraged.<br />

The Government is exploring options to support the relocation of destroyed factories to the GIE, pending the immediate repair of<br />

damaged infrastructure of the industrial estate. Preliminary analysis suggest that also scope for expanding the GIE by 50 percent to<br />

accommodate these relocations.

4.3.3 Trade and services<br />

Relief Early Recovery Reconstruction Total<br />

- $130m $77m $207m<br />

Similarly to industrial firms, all trade and services firms reporting damages will undergo a damage assessment that will certify the<br />

level of losses and eligibility for assistance.<br />

Compensation for production losses will be distributed as a first step in early recovery.<br />

Thereafter, the Government will implement a series of interventions under the umbrella of a Commercial and Services<br />

Rehabilitation Program (CSRP). The CSRP will provide cash grants to micro, small, and medium enterprises (MSME) who have<br />

been affected by the assault. Co-ordinated interventions will offer commercial MSMEs (e.g. vendors, and small workshops) cash<br />

grants to repair damages in their facilities, replenish their lost stocks, and resume their businesses. The program will also identify<br />

damages in the services sector (e.g. hotels, restaurants, and ICT firms) and provide grants to damaged enterprises to repair<br />

and furnish their facilities and get back to work. If needed, businesses will then be connected to financial institutions (such as<br />

microfinance institutions) that work in Gaza in order to ensure access to finance for future needs.<br />

The program will be implemented in a phased approach and payments will be done on installments to ensure that the businesses<br />

have actually fulfilled their commitments in terms of repairing their facilities and procured goods and / or productive assets.<br />

4.3.4 Employment and Livelihood<br />

Relief Early Recovery Reconstruction Total<br />

- $62m $7m $69m<br />

Unemployment has increased from the pre-assault 45 percent, as a result of damage to industries and commercial enterprises.<br />

Job creation will stimulate early recovery both at the household level and in key private sector areas that can use manpower to<br />

rehabilitate and re-activate their industries.<br />

Cash-for-work (CFW) will be a key early recovery initiative, supporting other interventions, including repair and recovery, including<br />

rubble removal for temporary housing, infrastructure works related to reconstruction, labor intensive road tiling, digging ditches<br />

for water and wastewater pipes, and repairing industrial zones.


57<br />

4.3.5 Facilitating Investment<br />

Relief Early Recovery Reconstruction Total<br />

- $20m $130m $150m<br />

Availability of capital will be critical to the recovery and reconstruction efforts of the private sector. Recognizing the extreme<br />

pressure that the assault has placed on private businesses, the Palestinian Monetary Authority (PMA) has already implemented<br />

a scheme for deferral of repayment of existing loans. Looking forward, in addition to providing compensation and assistance<br />

to the private sector, the Government, and the PMA will work with the banking sector to put in place appropriate financing<br />

mechanisms to enable the private sector to access additional financing for the recovery and reconstruction efforts. Through<br />

these mechanisms, the private sector should be able to secure increased access to working capital (for small repairs and<br />

restocking of raw materials) as well as long-term capital (for rehabilitation and reconstruction of own capacity, but also for<br />

development and delivery of reconstruction projects), at reduced interest rates. Alongside additional financing mechanisms,<br />

options for affordable risk insurance for domestic businesses will be explored. These facilities will allow selected businesses to<br />

leverage the compensation and assistance they receive to greater effect and at lower risk.<br />

Alongside increased financing, the Government will deliver selected capacity development programs, to strengthen the likelihood<br />

of success of reconstruction efforts by the private sector and drive increased profitability. These will include professional training,<br />

improvement of management skills, marketing support, and awareness of financing strategies and options.<br />

The National Early Recovery and Reconstruction Plan for Gaza 2014<br />

SECTION 4: RECOVERY AND RECONSTRUCTION INTERVENTIONS<br />

4.4 Governance Sector<br />

The consolidation of the public administration in Gaza is both a means and an end. In the short-term, the implementation of the<br />

recovery and reconstruction plan can only be achieved by restoring and maintaining the existing operational capacity of central<br />

and local government institutions, under the authority of the Government. These operational capacities are absolutely vital to<br />

the implementation of the recovery and reconstruction plan as a whole, and thus constitute an overall recovery foundation.<br />

Within an overall climate of a fragile security situation, stability can be undermined easily. Early recovery and reconstruction<br />

will quickly lose traction if a security vacuum is allowed to take hold in Gaza. Preventing a security vacuum will require the<br />

maintenance of law and order under the authority of the Government by reintroducing civil police under a unified command.<br />

Maintaining and expanding the operational capacity of the Government will need to go hand in hand with the reconstruction<br />

of destroyed and damaged infrastructure for Government institutions.<br />

4.4.1 Operational Capacity of Central Government Institutions<br />

Relief Early Recovery Reconstruction Total<br />

- $113m - $113m<br />

To boost existing operational capacities of government institutions in Gaza for recovery and reconstruction, the<br />

Government aims at reintegrating existing civil servants, hired before June 2007 into Government institutions,<br />

streamlining the civil service, and fully harmonizing these institutions with national institutions.<br />

The National Consensus Government has established a Legal and Administrative Committee to explore options and<br />

scenarios for consolidating the civil service and determining the status of the civil personnel engaged by the previous<br />

de facto authority in Gaza. This committee was established in early June and originally mandated for four months. Due<br />

to the political and security situation in Gaza, the work of the committee has been stalled since early July. A Higher<br />

Security Committee will be established by the President that will discuss the options for the security apparatus.


59<br />

The work of these committees will need to explore options for affected personnel, including the options for early<br />

retirement, retraining, and job placement in the private sector or with non-governmental service providers. At the<br />

same time, the consolidation process needs to take into account the existing civil servants in Gaza who have not been<br />

on active duty for the past seven years and might require renewed training and capacity development to fulfill their<br />

functions. The consolidation process will need to be guided by available fiscal resources and real needs on the ground<br />

in each sector.<br />

The reconsolidation of the public administration, however, will not be completed by harmonizing civil servants in<br />

Gaza and the West Bank. Beyond civil servants, the Government will implement an action plan for national institutional<br />

reintegration and for harmonizing the administrative legal framework. In doing so, the National Consensus Government<br />

will adopt a sequenced approach and prioritize sectors crucial for service delivery, which simultaneously also contain<br />

the largest number of personnel.<br />

Reintegrating the rule of law system is important for functional social and economic ties between the West Bank and<br />

Gaza. A functioning public administration furthermore requires freedom of movement within the country, which<br />

includes the ability to meet in person by traveling between the West Bank and Gaza, which under the Oslo Accords<br />

constitute a “single territorial unit”.<br />

The consolidation of the public administration will not only cement the National Consensus Government but will also<br />

improve fiscal sustainability and effective service delivery for recovery, reconstruction, and longer-term development.<br />

However, this consolidation cannot be implemented overnight and will take several months.<br />

In the meantime, the smooth operation of central government institutions in Gaza needs to be safeguarded. During<br />

such a transition period, until the Legal and Administrative Committee concludes its works, it is essential that civil<br />

personnel engaged by the previous de facto authority receive compensation in the form of social allowances for six<br />

months under a temporary mechanism, outside the government budget, enabling them to concentrate on their work<br />

while they and their families are provided for. This assumes that in parallel the Legal and Administrative Committee is<br />

able to assume its work aimed at resolving the status of this group and consolidating the civil service.<br />

This requires support to the Legal and Administrative Committee in defining a mechanism for expedited steps,<br />

sequenced by priority sectors, towards the consolidation of civil servants, institutions and applicable legal frameworks.<br />

Once the mechanism has been elaborated, its implementation will also require initial funding to accommodate and<br />

retrain civil servants for resuming their positions.<br />

4.4.2 Operational Capacity of Local Government Institutions<br />

Relief Early Recovery Reconstruction Total<br />

- $31m - $31m<br />

In order to restore and maintain the operational capacity of local government units in Gaza for recovery and reconstruction tasks,<br />

the Government seeks immediate exceptional supplementary funding for municipal personnel for a period of six months. Fuel<br />

and office supplies will also be provided.<br />

Restoring physical infrastructure and equipment for municipalities will be equally important in order to allow municipalities to<br />

provide regular services, and support their role in the recovery and reconstruction effort.

4.4.3 Rule of Law and Human Rights<br />

Relief Early Recovery Reconstruction Total<br />

- $1m $6m $7m<br />

The request for allowances to civil personnel above also includes personnel of the courts system.<br />

This needs to be complemented by support to legal assistance to vulnerable groups, including IDPs and the bereaved, particularly<br />

women and children. In this regard, immediate support needs to be provided to legal aid and arbitration for IDPs, while, in the<br />

medium-term, the partially destroyed legal aid system needs to be rehabilitated.<br />

Civil society organizations with a focus on human rights require support to monitor adherence to human rights principles within<br />

the fragile rule of law setting in the aftermath of the war.<br />

4.4.4 Implementation and Coordination<br />

Relief Early Recovery Reconstruction Total<br />

- $12m $20m $32m<br />

The MOPWH, UNRWA, and UNDP will conduct cross-sectoral assessment of damages to infrastructure and buildings. Once<br />

these assessments are done, the Government will use strategic spatial planning to build back better, particularly in residential<br />

neighborhoods and community infrastructure. Spatial planning is most critical for the most affected localities, including<br />

Shujaiyeh and Khuza’a.<br />

To support this and other implementation management tasks for this Plan, the Government will scale up its capacity for<br />

coordination, implementation, and monitoring of needs assessments and recovery and reconstruction interventions. Capacity<br />

will also be needed to monitor arrangements for the import of building materials.

IMPLEMENTATION<br />

ARRANGEMENTS<br />

AND PERFORMANCE<br />

MONITORING<br />

This plan presents the blueprint and guiding framework for the relief, response<br />

and recovery efforts in Gaza for 2014-2017. While international partners are kindly<br />

requested to provide adequate funding, ultimate responsibility for the delivery of<br />

the plan rests with the National Consensus Government, which will act as the<br />

single address for all planning, implementation, and financing issues with respect<br />

to the recovery and reconstruction of Gaza.<br />

Detailed planning and active management of the recovery and reconstruction<br />

process will be essential to ensure effective implementation. In this respect,<br />

the mandate of the Higher Inter-Ministerial Committee on Recovery and<br />

Reconstruction will be extended to oversee the implementation of the Plan.<br />

The Committee will be supported by a new Gaza Recovery and Reconstruction<br />

Implementation Unit. An immediate priority for the Committee, the Government<br />

and partners will be to complete the detailed damage assessments and develop<br />

detailed implementation plans by sector and at the local level. These plans will<br />

include clear objectives and targets, which will provide the basis for results based<br />

management of the implementation process, which in turn will drive increased<br />

accountability and successful delivery.<br />

The National Early Recovery and Reconstruction Plan for Gaza 2014<br />

SECTION 5: IMPLEMENTATION ARRANGEMENTS AND PERFORMANCE MONITORING<br />

5.1 Government Leadership through the Higher Inter-Ministerial Committee<br />

The development of the current plan was spearheaded by the Higher Inter-Ministerial Committee on Recovery and Reconstruction,<br />

headed by the Deputy Prime Minister. In order to facilitate continuity between the planning and implementation phases, the<br />

mandate of the Higher Inter-Ministerial Committee will be extended to cover implementation of the Plan.<br />

The Committee will be responsible for setting priorities, approving the allocation of international and Governmental funding<br />

against specified priorities, actively monitoring progress and reporting to Cabinet, and addressing implementation challenges<br />

with national and international partners. Membership of the Committee will continue to comprise the Minister of Finance/<br />

Planning; the Minister of Social Affairs/Agriculture; the Minister of Public Works and Housing; the Minister of Local Government;<br />

the Head of the Palestinian Water Authority; and the Head of Energy and Natural Resources Authority.<br />

During the implementation phase, a key area of attention for the Higher Committee will be the critical implementation<br />

pre-requisites, which must be sustained in order for the Plan to be effective. In line with this, specific action plans will also<br />

be developed for effective execution of the enablers, particularly with regard to movement and access. Should progress of<br />

implementation on these issues stall, partners and the international community will be called upon to provide required support<br />

to enable the facilitation of recovery and reconstruction.<br />

5.2 Co-ordination with Partners<br />

Whilst the Government will steer the recovery and reconstruction effort, the important contribution of the Government’s<br />

national and international partners cannot be underestimated. The National Consensus Government will work in the spirit of<br />

common purpose and coordinated action with all its partners - international donors, the private sector and civil society – to<br />

restore stability and rebuild Gaza.<br />

The Government will establish a Gaza Recovery and Reconstruction Advisory Board, which will include representatives of the<br />

private sector, civil society, and key international partners. The Higher Inter-Ministerial Committee will meet with the Board on a<br />

quarterly basis to share ideas and strategies with regard to the recovery and reconstruction efforts.<br />

At the working level, existing mechanisms will be actively leveraged to ensure co-ordination with all partners in planning and<br />

implementation. These include the Local Aid Co-ordination Secretariat (LACS), Sector Working Groups, and the humanitarian<br />

clusters. The electronic aid information management platform DARP (Development Assistance and Reform Platform), housed<br />

at the MOPAD, is expected to be the tool used to monitor financial assistance from donors against the plan. The tool will be<br />

adapted to include a module specific to the Early Recovery and Reconstruction Plan for Gaza. All projects will be entered into<br />

DARP by the Government and donors will be required to provide updates based on a pre-agreed schedule.


65<br />

5.3 Gaza Recovery and Reconstruction Implementation Unit<br />

Given the breadth and complexity of activities that will be required for the response –touching all sectors, all geographical areas,<br />

and involving direct support to at least a quarter of the population - a new Implementation unit will be established to drive<br />

implementation. The Unit will report to the Higher Inter-Ministerial Committee and work closely with Government ministries<br />

and agencies, as well as the international community, civil society, and private sector, to ensure the execution of the priority<br />

recovery and reconstruction interventions in this Plan.<br />

In the immediate period, the Unit will work to support ministries, agencies, and municipalities with effective prioritization,<br />

detailed planning, and setting targets for the recovery and reconstruction efforts. Thereafter, the Unit will play an active role in<br />

obtaining regular status reports on the priority interventions under the Plan from the ministries, identifying challenges in their<br />

implementation, and strengthening co-ordination between sectors as well as ministries.<br />

The Unit will provide monthly status reports to the Council of Ministers through the Inter-Ministerial Committee during the first<br />

six months of recovery reconstruction, and move to a quarterly reporting basis in thereafter. The reports will focus on progress<br />

of the most critical elements of the Plan and recommendations regarding accelerating implementation. The Unit will also work<br />

with ministries and agencies to ensure that decisions from the Council of Ministers are rapidly implemented.<br />

5.4 Detailed Damage Assessments and Action Planning at Sector<br />

and Municipality Level<br />

This plan forms the skeleton of the recovery effort and is based on an initial assessment of the impact of the Israeli assault.<br />

Effective implementation will require significant further work in terms of detailed diagnosis, planning, and programming of<br />

specific response interventions in each sector.<br />

Detailed Damage and Needs Assessments are currently underway through Government ministries and agencies,<br />

overseen by the Technical Committee, and with the support of the UN, the World Bank, and the EU. These will form the<br />

basis of detailed intervention planning for early recovery. The assessments will include baseline GIS data regarding all<br />

facilities which were damaged.<br />

Detailed Action Planning will follow the finalization of the damage assessments, and will be undertaken at the sector levels in<br />

collaboration with national partners. It is expected that this process will validate many of the high level recommendations of this<br />

report and develop them further into specific projects and interventions. It will also propose additional measures to respond to<br />

the breadth of damage and needs as they become better understood.<br />

The detailed action planning process will be completed in 2014. The output of this process will be a series of sector and<br />

municipality action plans, which will be consolidated into a Recovery and Rehabilitation Implementation Strategy. This ongoing<br />

planning process will not hinder on-going and immediate implementation of immediate humanitarian measures and early<br />

recovery interventions. These will be ongoing throughout.<br />

The sector plans and interventions will be underpinned by a clear Monitoring and Evaluation Framework, which will capture<br />

goals, objectives, outputs and outcomes in each sector and intervention. These will also be linked to the budget and financial<br />

Results monitoring at the sector level will be the primarily responsibility of line ministries/concerned budget entities, in<br />

cooperation with national and international partners. MOPAD’s Monitoring and Evaluation department will compile sector level<br />

data into quarterly monitoring reports of the Plan. Financial input and results reports will be accessible on the MOPAD website<br />

and will be discussed by the Plan’s management structure as a tool for evidence-based decision making.

The National Early Recovery and Reconstruction Plan for Gaza 2014<br />

SECTION 6: FINANCING REQUIREMENTS AND MECHANISMS<br />

6.1 Overview of Current Fiscal Situation<br />

The Palestinian Government has made significant and continued efforts to improve its fiscal performance through revenue<br />

reforms and expenditure limitations. In 2013, on account of these measures, the fiscal deficit declined by 2.7 percentage points<br />

to 13.9 percent of GDP. However, the Government’s fiscal position remains extremely fragile, highly reliant on donor support,<br />

and highly dependent on economic and political relations with Israel. By the end of 2013 public debt, including arrears and<br />

clearance revenue advances, had reached $4.6 billion, close to 40 percent of GDP.<br />

The total budget for 2014 was $4.4 billion, comprising 92 percent recurrent and 8 percent development expenditure. Even before<br />

the National Consensus Government was formed, expenses on Gaza comprised almost 40 percent of the budget, comprising<br />

payments of salaries for public-sector workers; coverage of non-wage bill items like health referrals, medical supplies, and social<br />

assistance; and coverage of fuel and net lending expenses for electricity and water. Disbursements amount to approximately<br />

$120 million on a monthly basis or $1.44 billion annually.<br />

Development Expenditures 197 316 60%<br />

Total Balance (1,657) (1,674) 1%<br />

In its September 2014 report to the AHLC, the IMF described the near-term fiscal outlook as challenging in any scenario, without<br />

accounting for the spending needed for Gaza reconstruction. It forecasts a fiscal gap of approximately $350 million for 2014,<br />

accounting for 16.5 percent of GDP, assuming that overall donor financing will reach $1.5 billion.<br />

The July/August assault in Gaza has provided an unprecedented shock to the Government’s already strained budget position.<br />

The National Consensus Government is faced with a recovery and reconstruction bill that is equivalent to the entire 2014 budget,<br />

13 times the 2014 development budget, and over 20 times the 2013 development budget. In the absence of external support,<br />

incurring the cost of reconstruction would imply not being able to meet recurrent expenditures in the West Bank and/or up to a<br />

doubling of the existing public debt, neither of which is practically or politically possible.<br />

Given the scale and urgency of the challenge, the Government has no choice but to reach out to the international community for<br />

support with this momentous task.<br />

The Government sees the investment in Gaza as an investment in stability and the viability of a future Palestinian state. Whilst Gaza’s<br />

rebuilding will be costly in the short- to medium -term, the Government’s vision for Gaza is one of sustainability and self-sufficiency,<br />

where Gaza is an integral driver of the Palestinian economy and where it contributes to the fiscal position of the Government.

6.2 Summary of Recovery and Reconstruction Costs<br />

The total costs of the reconstruction effort are estimated at $4 billion, of which $414 million is required for immediate relief, $1.2<br />

billion for early recovery, and $2.4 billion for the reconstruction of Gaza. Financing for the immediate relief and early recovery<br />

phases is required immediately; financing for reconstruction projects will be required in 2015, 2016, and 2017.<br />

The National Early Recovery and Reconstruction Plan for Gaza 2014<br />

SECTION 6: FINANCING REQUIREMENTS AND MECHANISMS<br />

This Plan quantifies the direct costs of recovery and reconstruction, which are separate from existing commitments on<br />

budget support to the Government. However continuation of existing budget support to the Government will be a<br />

vital element for sustaining government functions in both Gaza and the West Bank, meeting the government’s existing<br />

responsibilities to its employees and citizens, as well as providing the basis for recovery and reconstruction in Gaza. Budget<br />

support will ensure continued provision of health and education services, purchases of electricity, fuel and water, as well<br />

as maintaining social support.<br />

Therefore, in addition to seeking financial support for the direct costs of recovery and reconstruction, the Government urges<br />

donors to complete the budget support for 2014 and fund required budget support for the next three years. Without this, the<br />

proper functioning of the National Consensus Government, as well as recovery and reconstruction in Gaza, will be impossible.<br />

The impact of assault on budget support for the Government in 2015 and beyond is not yet clear. However, it is likely that the<br />

additional burden that the assault has created for Gaza’s social support, education, and health services, amongst others, may<br />

require an further increase in budget support beyond current levels and the costs already captured under the Recovery and<br />

Reconstruction Plan. At least some of these costs should be outweighed by additional revenues from Gaza as the situation<br />

stabilizes and the Gaza economy recovers, which are currently unaccounted for. The net impact of integrating Gaza fully into the<br />

fiscal framework will become clearer with time, as the longer-term systemic impacts become evident.<br />

At present, the total value of required budget support for the State of Palestine 2014-2017 has been estimated at $4.5 billion.<br />

6.3 Financing Mechanisms<br />

Early recovery and reconstruction efforts must be guided by two pivotal principles: national ownership and rapid implementation.<br />

Consideration for these two principles is also central to the financing mechanism proposed for the implementation of the Plan.<br />

In line with the principle of ownership, the National Consensus Government has a strong preference for the utilization of the<br />

Government’s Central Treasury Account (CTA) as the primary financing mechanism for the Recovery and Reconstruction of Gaza.<br />

The CTA not only allows for implementing budget programs and receiving budget support, but has also been used to the full<br />

satisfaction of the Government and donors alike for earmarked funding to specific programs and projects. The soundness of the<br />

Government’s public financial management system and the CTA has been applauded by the International Finance Institutions<br />

in past reports to the Ad Hoc Liaison Committee (AHLC).<br />

However, recognizing the constraints of international organizations, the Government accepts that other financing mechanism<br />

may be necessary to complement funding through Government channels in order to allow for rapid implementation.<br />

Nevertheless, to serve the aim of efficiency and effective co-ordination, the Government urges donors to restrict this external<br />

funding to the limited number of existing mechanisms that have been shown as effective and are believed to be sufficient for<br />

an effective reconstruction effort. These are:<br />

1. UN Agencies: Direct funding can be provided to established UN agencies already working on the ground, including UNRWA<br />

and UNDP, for a range of issues including support to the refugee population, ERW removal, and infrastructure development.<br />

2. PEGASE: The “MécanismePalestino-Européen de Gestion et d’Aide Socio-économique” established by the European Union<br />

can be used to enable support for the Palestinian Administration and Services, including salaries to staff; support to the<br />

Social Protection System via cash transfers and other mechanisms, and support to private sector enterprises.<br />

3. World Bank: Funding via the Palestinian Reform and Development Plan Multi-Donor Trust Fund (PRDP-MDTF) can be<br />

channeled for budget support to drive the reform and institution building agenda; and via the Partnership for Infrastructure<br />

Development Multi-Donor Trust Fund (PID-MDTF) for energy, water, sanitation, and urban development investments.<br />

The private sector and NGOs are important implementing partners who are expected to receive funding via the above financing<br />

channels. A more detailed mapping of the applicability of the different mechanisms to different subsectors is shown in Annex 1.<br />

As for the Arab States, they can channel their support through the Islamic Development Bank, which in turn will utilize the above<br />

financing mechanisms to deliver its support.<br />

The use of alternative funding mechanisms should not undermine the Government’s leadership role on the reconstruction<br />

effort. Therefore, the Inter-Ministerial Committee will serve as a Steering Committee for the recovery and reconstruction effort,<br />

approving the allocation of funding for intervention programs, and ensuring coordinated implementation and overall financial<br />

management of the Recovery and Reconstruction Plan.
