UN to rebuild homes Israel destroyed

The UN agency for Palestinian refugees is to rebuild homes for some of the 15,000 people made homeless by an Israeli policy of home demolitions, officials said on Sunday.


"The United Nations Relief and Works Agency (UNRWA) reached an agreement with the Palestinian Authority (PA) and another UN agency to build 700 homes for Palestinians left homeless because of direct Israeli action in Rafah, Southern Gaza.

Rafah has been the hardest hit by Israel's policy of home demolitions.

The PA is to set aside land for the new homes and the UN Development Programme (UNDP) will help pay for them with donations from the Saudi Committee for the Relief of Palestinians and the United Arab Emirates Red Crescent.

"This agreement now allows UNWRA to move quickly to the most important task at hand, that of transferring the concern of the international community for the people of Rafah into bricks and mortar," UNWRA Commissioner-General Peter Hansen said."
