48The National Early Recovery and Reconstruction Plan for Gaza 2014SECTION 4: RECOVERY AND RECONSTRUCTION INTERVENTIONS4.2 Infrastructure SectorImmediate response, as part of the relief and early recovery effort, is essential to ease individual suffering and increaseaccess to basic services. However, given that Gaza’s infrastructure was already at breaking point prior to the assault,short term fixes cannot evolve into long-term solutions. Equally, the infrastructure reconstruction effort cannot simplybe a re-building of pre-existing infrastructure. Instead, reconstruction efforts will be informed by long-term, cross-sectorinfrastructure planning that will establish effective integrated infrastructure networks as the basis for long-term sustainablesocial and economic development.A critical pre-requisite for infrastructure development is access and movement. Even the most urgent need or the most strategicpriority cannot be met if the blockade is not ended. Without materials and fuel, networks cannot be mended, houses cannot bebuilt, and a healthy and sustainable future cannot be assured4.2.1 Clearance of Rubble and Explosive Remnants of WarRelief Early Recovery Reconstruction Total- $20m $14m $34mTwo and a half million tons of rubble need to be removed, the mass clearance can be divided between the early recovery phaseand the reconstruction phase. Although it is not suitable for rebuilding, the rubble removed during the reconstruction phasecan be reused for road rehabilitation, curbs stones, and road paving. Large chunks of concrete can be reused as wave breakersfor the fishing harbor.Given the high tonnage of munitions used during this assault and the December 2008 assault, there is a significant risk that ERWswill be hidden in the rubble. Activities will include rapid assessments, emergency ERW (and explosive hazards) risk educationfor civilians and humanitarian actors in highly impacted neighborhoods, as well as the oversight and monitoring of marking,collection, and disposal of ERW by the Police EOD teams as and when the security and political situations allow. Activities wouldbegin in the early recovery phase and continue through the reconstruction phase.
494.2.2 EnergyRelief Early Recovery Reconstruction Total- $32m $153m $185mA steady and sufficient supply of electricity is essential to Gaza’s recovery. Immediate repairs are needed to the badly damagedgrid. A temporary storage facility will be found for electrical equipment, until the construction of a new main storage facility forelectrical equipment is completed as part of reconstruction.An initial repair of the Gaza Power Plant has been completed to allow for its operation. In addition, planned early recovery willsee the restoration of the main power lines for supply from Israel and the provision of electrical materials to repair networks. Inparallel, the possible expansion of supply of electricity through existing lines from Egypt is being explored. Other potential shorttermalternatives are being evaluated, which include a connection to a floating naval power station.However, the pre-existing energy deficit requires more than an attempt to return to the cost-inefficient status quo. In the longterm,the Government will promote the cost-saving conversion of the Gaza Power Plant to natural gas from industrial diesel bythe private sector.4.2.3 Water and Waste WaterRelief Early Recovery Reconstruction Total$40m $80m $116m $236mWhile pressing health risks justify immediate and primary focus on repairs, the water and sanitation sector is facing serioussystemic failings that must be addressed to ensure sustainable water sources and sanitation systems in the future. Long-terminterventions are essential to enable Gaza’s water and sanitation services to accommodate citizen and environmental demandsnow and in the future.Immediate interventions will include the provision of mobile pumps and generators (with spare parts and fuel) for pumpingwater and wastewater. Access to clean water will be improved through the provision of chlorine to disinfect water. IDPs willreceive water for drinking and domestic use through water trucks and bulk water storage units and will have access to newsanitation installations. Water and sanitation support for IDPs will continue through the early recovery phase.
