Grant Description

The Rubble Removal Project removes rubble and debris created during the seven week military operation in Gaza during the summer of 2014.

Under the program, rubble is safely removed from destroyed public and private buildings in targeted areas of Gaza, and unexploded ordnances are safely removed.

These efforts will facilitate work by the Palestinian Water Authority and Coastal Municipalities Water Utility to repair infrastructure buried beneath the rubble and restore and sustain essential water and sanitation services.

By creating emergency employment opportunities, as well as safeguarding public health and the environment, the program aims to bring immediate relief, recovery, and support to more than 1.1 million Palestinians in Gaza, while generating more than 116,850 person days of employment.~
