Ruptly reports that, “Gaza residents including shop owners and municipal workers launched an effort to clean and rebuild their city following the ceasefire between Israel and Hamas, on Saturday (May 22, 2021).
Municipal workers could be seen clearing the streets from the rubble of buildings destroyed by the Israeli airstrikes, while shopkeepers repaired their storefronts.
Gaza Municipality Head of Solid Waste Department Majed Sukkar explained, “Our message is that all members of society must stand by each other and remove the remnants and effects of aggression, and the donor countries must rise up and help the residents who were displaced from their homes and those whose homes were bombed.”
Events began to escalate nearly a fortnight ago over the planned eviction of Palestinian families from the Sheikh Jarrah neighbourhood of Jerusalem before spiralling into a deadly exchange of fire between Gaza and Israel.
The conflict led to over 240 fatalities on the Palestinian side and 12 on the Israeli side, according to the respective authorities.
*SOUNDBITES*
SOT, Wael Al-Shurafa, Gaza resident (Arabic): “There is nothing suitable for use inside the shop. We’re trying to install the doors, restore the shop and re-supply them with goods because it is completely destroyed. Great insistence, which I can say, praise be to God only, a hundred percent damage.”
SOT, Majed Sukkar, Head of Solid Waste Department, Gaza Municipality (Arabic): “We are campaigning in public streets and in front of the residential towers that have been bombed, cleaning the streets from the effects of destruction, sand, rubble and glass, so that Gaza City is better than it is.”

Israeli air strikes targeted the affluent areas of Gaza where businesses and shopping centres are located. But local business owners told TRT World that “they will bounce back.”
Ruptly: “Drone footage showed the aftermath of Israeli airstrikes in the cities of Beit Lahiya and Beit Hanoun.
Various buildings, including residential blocks, were razed to the ground, with ruins left reminding of recent bombardments in the northern edge of the Gaza Strip.
Israeli airstrikes have killed more than 240 people in Gaza, including 65 children according to the local Health Ministry.”
Ruptly says, “Members of Gaza’s press organised a protest on Sunday (May 23, 2021) to condemn the alleged targeting by Israel of media organisations during the recent escalation of hostilities.
Protesters held signs denouncing the silencing of Palestinian voices that they believe the Israeli government aimed for. The march starting from Jawhara Tower, which includes various media institutions, and continued until the neighbourhood of Rimal at the Jala Tower, which was demolished during the airstrikes.”
