Gaza Municipality: Severe Damage to Road Network Requires Urgent Rehabilitation Efforts

The Gaza Municipality has announced that the city’s road network has suffered extensive damage as a result of the ongoing aggression and acts of genocide carried out by the Israeli occupation against the Gaza Strip over the past twenty months.

According to the Municipality, the total length of roads in the city is approximately 900 kilometers, distributed across 3,659 streets, including main roads, secondary streets, and passageways. These roads serve more than one million residents from within Gaza City and surrounding areas, in addition to approximately 50,000 vehicles that travel daily on the city’s roads.

Technical assessments indicate that around 42% of the road network has sustained complete damage, while partial damage has affected about 14%, and minor damage accounts for roughly 38%.

The Municipality confirmed that the extent of destruction has led to the closure of numerous roads, necessitating urgent interventions this year to rehabilitate and reopen them, ensure the smooth movement of residents and vehicles, and facilitate access to various parts of the city.

The Municipality has called upon all relevant stakeholders and donor organizations to contribute to meeting these urgent needs for road repairs. It also noted that detailed information on the Municipality’s emergency requirements can be accessed through the attached link.
