A daily look into the work, thoughts and ideas of our team around the world.

Blog Post Posted January 21, 2009, 9:04 am by Haitham

It will take ten years until we rebuild Gaza.

Haitham: "Life is getting back to normal, but institutes and banks are still closed. People are worried about their houses and are fixing the damages. It's miserable.

"I would wait and see what they will have to say first. We are stuck between the Israelis and Hamas. We are the victims. We are suffering. So let them see what happened in Gaza and learn about what is happening in order to have peace and security in the region. I don’t believe the war is over. Palestinians must unite before discussing any agreement with the Israelis.

"I will be back to work. I don’t know how things will look like though, but the coming months will be difficult because it will take ten years until we rebuild Gaza."
