The interventions outlined below buildupon ongoing and planned relief activities and are designed to be an effectivebridge between current critical needs and a more sustainable response to newand chronic needs in Gaza. This is particularly important because of the decline inthe quality of services and economic conditions before the July/August assault.In order to address the needs of people in Gaza in an integrated and coordinatedway, priority interventions must ensure that sectoral and sub-sectoral needs areconsidered in relation to each other. Interventions in one sector will reinforce thosein others. For example, an improved supply of energy will increase availability ofwater and sanitation services, improving living conditions (particularly for IDPs),reducing public health risks, and protecting the vulnerable (such as women andchildren). Energy is also critical to reviving the private sector, which will be animportant supply and employment resource during recovery and reconstruction.The sequencing and prioritization of recovery and reconstruction activitiesrecommended below is a result of the careful consideration of the various subsectorsof the Plan.11.Social Sector22.Infrastructure Sector33.Economic Sector44.Governance Sector
