According to this article in the New York times - Reconstruction of homes damaged or destroyed in this summer’s battle between Israel and Hamas remains distant, as supplies allowed into Gaza this month remain untouched, baffling residents. Also the article shared this piece of information that puzzles me a little since the war ended weeks ago - Some 39,000 Gazans remain in 18 United Nations schools serving as shelters, and many more are bunking with relatives. The relief and works agency has given 1,000 families a total of $1 million for temporary rental assistance or minor repairs. The housing ministry said it would begin giving grants of $1,000 to $2,000 next week. I am not a reporter - I am simply a witness - but what I am witnessing brings questions to mind - the same questions that plague my brothers and sisters in Gaza. We certainly must remain patient but my patience grows thinner each day that I see what appears to be political motives at work here. And when I see the results of delays in the eyes of friends who come to me for consolation and a helping hand. I have run out of resources (as they have) and we are all running out of patience But what do I know?
