Earlier this month it was reported that following last January’s ceasefire in Gaza, the towns of southern Israel were booming, with spikes in population, real estate and shopping mall construction.
Gaza however remains in ruins, with thousands of families enduring the winter displaced, many still living in tents beside the rubble of their homes. Almost one year since Israel launched its Operation Cast Lead offensive, the lack of reconstruction in Gaza is not due to any lack of international pledges for assistance. The cause is Israeli policy.
