The Palestinian-Israeli conflict, which has lasted for many days, shows no signs of a ceasefire. For the already difficult Gazan people, in addition to causing casualties, the Israeli air strikes have also made their difficulties in business, medical care, electricity and other aspects worse.
Anas Najjar, reporter of the main station: We are now in the Limar region of Gaza, which has always been the commercial and economic center of Gaza, but after this round of Palestinian-Israeli conflict, it has been completely empty and commercial and economic activities have been completely paralyzed.
Ramiz, who does business in the Gaza Strip, said that since the Palestinian-Israeli conflict earlier this month, shops in his neighborhood have been closed one after another, and now they have basically all closed, and related logistics, warehousing and other activities have all come to a standstill.
Gaza Strip businessman Ramiz Ahi: As businessmen in the Gaza Strip, we were already in a very bad situation before the conflict, and now the economic situation in Gaza has become worse during the conflict.
The impact of the conflict on the health sector in the Gaza Strip has been more severe than economic activity, and the lack of medicines in many hospitals has been further exacerbated.
Marwan Abu Saada, Head of International Cooperation in the Health Sector in the Palestinian Gaza Strip: As we all know, the Palestinian health sector has been suffering from a crisis for a long time, especially the severe shortage of medicines, supplies, medical consumables and laboratory consumables.
In addition, Israeli air strikes have put great pressure on local public services in the Gaza Strip, further aggravating the already tight power supply. On the evening of the 11th local time, a power plant in the middle of the Gaza Strip was blown up in an Israeli air strike, causing a widespread power outage in the central Gaza Strip.
Mahmoud Bashar, spokesman for civil defence in the Gaza Strip: Israeli air strikes have caused great damage to infrastructure such as electricity, as well as damage to roads and underground water networks. It can be said that every Israeli air strike greatly destroys the public services here.
