From the far-left NGO Gisha, last week:
March 4, 2015: Gisha executive director, Eitan Diamond, was interviewed (Hebrew) yesterday on Guy Zohar’s program on Israeli radio station 103FM, where he talked about Gaza’s reconstruction: “Six months after the fighting, not a single house destroyed during the last round of hostilities has been rebuilt.
As of January, Israel had imported some 50,000 tons of construction material, and in February probably 20,000 tons more - and they were delivered to residents directly under the protocol that Israel and UNRWA worked out:


So where is all the construction materials going?

Gisha, of course, blames Israel alone for the slowness (or absence!) of reconstruction. They are willingly ignoring the facts.

It appears that Gaza residents who lost their homes are preferring to resell their construction materials to rebuilding their homes. And you can be certain that much of that material is being used to rebuild terrorist tunnels - something Hamas and Islamic Jihad are bragging about.

Based on the photos coming out of Gaza recently, not only are no houses being built - but the heavily damaged buildings haven't even been removed!

Hamas knows quite well that the photos of Gaza devastation translates into cash that will be donated for reconstruction - for materials that Hamas will end up using for terror.  So Hamas has no incentive to help rebuild Gaza.

And Gisha, HRW and other anti-Israel NGOs show by their emphasis on Israel that they don't give a damn about Gaza residents. They only want to demonize Israel.

If you want to see the real reason why Gaza is having problems rebuilding, read the Israel ambassador to the UK's article in CiF from last week.

And perhaps email AP or Reuters to investigate why the truckloads of construction materials entering Gaza every day has not translated to a single house being rebuilt.
