Damn on Poor Planning of Funds




Damn on Poor Planning of Funds

I am neither a writer nor proficient in writing. Although this I have the right to say my opinion frankly. I am 23 years old who lives in Gaza Strip.

Talk time nowadays in my hometown is the visit of Qatar prince and his wife " Shiekha MOZA" last week on 5th October. People in public cars, work, streets, facebook, TV, and homes are talking on her visit. They were wondering of her visit results.

Some of them were really optimistic, they said:" ohhh finally we will have work opportunities, homes for last war homeless, streets development" and the others were either pessimistic or just keep silent.
Now, we hear that her husband will donate 500 million dollars to Gaza governorate for building and rehabilitating streets, homes for homeless in the last war ???

Do we really need for these subordinate things? Do we need for new wide and well constructed roads??!!
Why they will not support the infrastructure in Gaza Strip? Is it because our good infrastructure is enough or what??!!

Really DAMN on bad planning of money consumption, we are suffering from frightening crises.
Wastewater sector in Gaza strip is sinful. About 30 % of the households in Gaza strip are not connected to the network which forces families to use cesspits that contribute to pollute the only water resource in Gaza strip – the coastal aquifer.

Solid waste sector is also share on our crisis. Tons of wastes without proper separation or even dumping causes different frightened diseases that we all witnessed in the last decades.
Finally, the inhumane electricity cutoff we are suffering from. A lot of citizens do not have the ability to buy fuel to generate the electricity individually.

So I think we have a lot of problems that need for more attention.
Water, wastewater, solid waste and electricity are the nightmare in Gaza.
