8 6 The National Early Recovery and Reconstruction Plan for Gaza 2014 State of Palestine FOREWORD Gaza is once more in crisis. Seven weeks of bombardment and ground incursions have left thousands dead and injured and half a million people displaced. The physical destruction is vast in scale. Yet it is the human loss that is truly incomprehensible and from which will be the hardest to recover. Palestinians living in Gaza have suffered too long and too much. They deserve a future that is free from restriction, confinement, and destruction. With their resilience, ingenuity, and determination, our people in Gaza are more than capable of making the coastal region of Palestine flourish and prosper. Full recovery from years of conflict and devastation can happen only if Gaza is once more connected with the West Bank, including East Jerusalem, and all parts of Palestine are once more open to the world. Free movement of people and goods will catalyze Gaza, catapulting it from its current crisis into socio-economic sustainability. Freedom of access must be guaranteed. The borders must be opened. Trade must flow. People must travel. The past months have been some of the grimmest in Palestinian history. And, yet, it was not a new experience. Since the Nakba in 1948 until now, Palestinians have been forced through too many dark days. Israeli military action is constant, with massive assaults in tragic repetition: in Gaza, six-year old children have already lived through three major assaults that have robbed them of friends, family, and their childhood innocence. But our Palestinian people will continue to move forward towards their dream of an independent, prosperous, and peaceful state, with East Jerusalem as their capital. When Gaza last faced such destruction in 2009, Palestinian unity was still a distant dream. Now, our people have achieved that unity, brought together by the National Consensus Government, formed just weeks before the assault on Gaza began. Our Government will exert all efforts to recover, repair, and rebuild Gaza as an integral region of Palestine. We extend our hand to the international community, to our partners in peace and our friends in times of need. We challenge the world to be ambitious and daring in helping us realize our dream of prosperity and justice in an independent state, free of military occupation. An immediate measure is to end the blockade on Gaza and ensure our people never again experience the horrors of this summer. A brighter future is on the horizon. Give Palestinians in Gaza the tools, the opportunities, and the freedom to secure that future - here and now. Rami Hamdallah Prime Minister

9 7 State of Palestine ACKNOWLEDGMENTS This document was prepared by the Palestinian Government s Higher Inter-Ministerial Committee for Gaza Recovery and Reconstruction, supported by the Inter-Governmental Technical Committee. This Plan will be used to consolidate resources and responses to help the Palestinian people in Gaza rebuild their lives and livelihoods. As such, it forms the basis for mobilizing resources and efforts at the international conference in Cairo, Egypt on October 12, 2014 and provides the guiding framework for all relief, early recovery, and reconstruction interventions. The Government would like to express its appreciation to the institutions that contributed to the development of this plan and the rapid damage and needs assessment that underpins it, including the line ministries, other Government bodies, the United Nations, the World Bank, the European Union (EU), the Office of the Quartet Representative, international and national NGOs, and the private sector. Special appreciation goes to Egypt and Norway for organizing the donor conference. As we work together to provide our people in Gaza with a better future, we acknowledge the damage that can never be undone and the loss that will remain, even when peace and prosperity return. We honor the memory of the thousands who have died, we mourn with those left behind, and stand with those who have suffered the most. Finally and with the greatest sorrow, we remember the children: those who have died and those who still live, haunted by the horrors of this assault and the other assaults that have overshadowed their childhoods. Mohammad Mustafa Deputy Prime Minister Chairman of Inter-Ministerial Committee

10 8 The National Early Recovery and Reconstruction Plan for Gaza 2014 EXECUTIVE SUMMARY In July 2014, the Israeli military launched a sustained assault on Gaza. For seven weeks, Gaza was invaded and bombarded from land, sea, and air. The human loss was great: at least 2,145 people were killed, including 581 children. One in four Palestinians in Gaza was forced to flee, and over 60,000 houses were partially or completely destroyed. Public services have been devastated, creating scarcity of water, energy, food, and shelter. Agriculture, industry, and trade are at a standstill, leaving ever more Gaza residents without a livelihood. This devastating assault follows decades of occupation and border closures that have left our people in Gaza isolated, impoverished, and vulnerable. Gaza was already in the grip of a humanitarian and environmental crisis before the assault began. A seven-year blockade had suffocated the private sector, creating widespread dependency: 80 percent of Gaza residents were already dependent on aid, 47 percent were food insecure, and 40 percent were unemployed. The National Consensus Government has developed this Palestinian National Early Recovery and Reconstruction Plan to provide a roadmap through the current humanitarian crisis to long-term development. The Gaza Early Recovery and Reconstruction Rapid Needs Assessment forms the backbone of the plan. Conducted by Palestinian ministries and agencies with the support of local and international partners, it uses the situation prior to the assault as a baseline but contextualizes it within the experience of Israel s long and continuing blockade of Gaza. This Plan was developed with the intention to transition from relief efforts to longer-term development needs across four sectors social, infrastructure, economic, and governance. The Government will respond to the urgent and chronic needs of Gaza with relief, recovery, and reconstruction interventions in each of these sectors that will reinforce the foundations for longer term development and growth. Gaza is an integral part of the Palestinian state and its gate to the Mediterranean. Its development is crucial for the viability of the Palestinian state and for the two-state solution. The Government will no longer accept the isolation and repression of our people in Gaza. Renewed growth and prosperity in Gaza is the Government s moral and national imperative. Furthermore, there is no doubt that the success of the Government in the reconstruction of Gaza is key to ensuring the stability of Gaza, Palestine, and the region. Through the National Early Recovery and Reconstruction Plan, the Government will take - and lead - a series of measures to uphold its responsibility towards Gaza and its residents and ensure rapid improvements to their lives, by working on multiple paths, in cooperation with partners in civil society, the private sector, and donors, while maintaining national ownership. Response is already ongoing, under the leadership of the Government through its Bridging to Recovery Initiative that guides the transition from emergency to early recovery. Initial rapid assessments have provided early evidence on the scale of the damage caused by the 51-day assault and form the basis for the Government s response plan. Nearly half a million people were displaced at the height of the conflict and more than 11,200 injured, resulting in an increase in the number of poor, unsheltered persons, disabled, orphans, and female-headed households. 373,000 children are now in need of psychosocial support. Fifty percent of all medical facilities sustained severe damage and Gaza s emergency and primary health care systems are now overstretched and under-supported. At the same time, border closures have prevented the flow of crucial medical supplies and the transfer of high risk medical cases. Nearly 300 education establishments, from kindergarten to university level, suffered extensive damage and numerous others require repairs having been used as emergency shelters for the internally displaced during the assault. Essential infrastructure, which was already at breaking point prior to the assault, has sustained severe damage. An estimated 20,000 tons of explosives fired by the Israeli military have left many buildings and large areas of Gaza reduced to rubble. At least 5,000 explosive remnants of war (ERW) are not yet secured or destroyed. Extensive disruption has been caused to water and sanitation networks, energy supplies and facilities, roads and bridges, and the telecommunications system.

11 9 Gaza s private sector has suffered both direct damage to property, equipment, stock and raw materials, as well as indirect losses due to closure and reduced economic activity. The agriculture sector has seen widespread destruction of cultivated land, greenhouses, livestock and poultry farms, water wells, irrigation networks, and other productive assets. Seventeen percent of the total cultivated area has been completely destroyed. In the industrial sector, more than 20 percent of Gaza s industrial enterprises and over 4,000 commercial and trade enterprises have been destroyed or damaged. Unemployment is set to rise significantly, defaults in the banking sector may become a problem, and investors, who were already hesitant to invest, are likely to be ever more cautious. This Early Recovery and Reconstruction plan presents a comprehensive and prioritized response to the overwhelming damage across all sectors and geographic areas in in Gaza. The response in the social sector will require $701 million. The Government will work with UNRWA and other agencies to extend a safety net to newly impoverished citizens, including through expanded cash transfers, food assistance, and distribution of nonfood items. Health services will be restored by rehabilitating destroyed and damaged health infrastructure and equipment. In the education sector, the Government and UNRWA will focus on responding to urgent humanitarian needs amongst students, rehabilitating infrastructure, providing psycho-social and social protection support to students, staff, and families, and returning to education as soon as possible. In the infrastructure sector, $1.9 billion will be required for temporary service provision as well as extensive rehabilitation and reconstruction. The Government will prioritize the removal of rubble and removal of ERWs, which pose a critical danger to citizens, particularly children. In the energy sector, additional supplies will be purchased to supplement the now repaired Gaza Power Plant. Access to potable water will be increased initially through provisional supplies, followed by rehabilitation of the destroyed and damaged infrastructure and equipment. Small-scale desalination units will also be developed, and pumps, generators, and chlorine will be distributed. The largest expenditure within the infrastructure sector will be on housing, where temporary housing solutions will be found rapidly for those who have seen their houses destroyed or damaged. Thereafter, repairs and reconstruction will begin. A program to upgrade and develop border crossings will be essential to ensure handling of the construction materials required for the recovery and reconstruction efforts. The Government will invest $1.2 billion to rebuild the private sector and increase employment in Gaza, including restoring the productivity of the agricultural, fishing, industrial, and manufacturing sectors and the trades and services sector through rehabilitation, economic stimulation packages, as well as cash-for-work support. With respect to the governance sector, the National Consensus Government will seize the opportunity presented by its recent formation to harmonize and integrate the previously divided government structures. Maintaining and expanding the operational capacity of the government will need to go hand in hand with the reconstruction of government institutions damaged and destroyed during the assault. These interventions will start immediately and require $183 million. The total cost of relief, recovery and reconstruction is estimated at $4 billion. This is about three times the estimated cost after the 2008 assault and equivalent to 35 percent of the total GDP for the West Bank and Gaza combined. When compared to Palestine s development budget for 2014 of $316 million, this is a huge shock. However, the Government sees the investment in Gaza as an investment in stability and the viability of a future Palestinian State. Alongside direct funding for relief, recovery and reconstruction, the continuation of existing budget support for Palestine to Gaza in will be a vital element for sustaining government functions in the West Bank and Gaza. An estimated $4.5 billion is required. Therefore the Government urges donors not only to complete the budget support for 2014, but also to commit to budget support for Without this, proper functioning of the National Consensus Government, as well as recovery and reconstruction in Gaza, will be impossible. Whilst Gaza s rebuilding will be costly in the short -to medium- term, the Government s vision for Gaza is one of sustainability and self-sufficiency, where Gaza is an integral driver of the a growing Palestinian economy, united with the West Bank and opened up to the rest of the world.

14 12 The National Early Recovery and Reconstruction Plan for Gaza 2014 SECTION1 Setting the Context The recent assault on Gaza is a reminder of the destabilizing impact and the heavy toll that Israel s decades long occupation exerts on Palestinians and will continue to exert, so long as the goal of an independent Palestinian state in fulfillment of international law and consensus remains elusive. The status quo is unsustainable. A comprehensive and just peaceful settlement is essential to stopping the continuing, destructive conflict. Only an independent Palestinian state, free of Israeli occupation, can ensure peace, stability and security, side by side with Israel on the 1967 borders. Unifying all Palestinian territory under one effective government is an imperative for the Palestinian people and for a viable and prosperous state. The formation of the National Consensus Government is an essential first step in that direction and in ensuring national unity. The challenges facing the Government are numerous, spanning complex administrative, financial, legal, economic, and security issues. Added to those is the momentous task of reconstructing Gaza and economic recovery across the whole Palestinian territory, all against the backdrop of a deteriorating economic situation, high unemployment, decreased financial support, and continued Israeli occupation and colonization. The success of the National Consensus Government in meeting these challenges is the success of national unity in ensuring the economic and institutional foundations of an independent Palestinian state. The challenges are grave but can be met by the Government, provided that there is strong local and international political support and generous financial and technical support from donor countries, and provided that Israel upholds its obligations under international law and removes its destructive restrictions on Palestinian freedom. 11.

16 14 The National Early Recovery and Reconstruction Plan for Gaza 2014 SECTION 1: Setting the Context 1.1 Counting the Losses In August 2014, Gaza marked the end of the sixth Israeli assault since Although the 51-day bombardment and invasion has halted, Palestinians in Gaza are still counting their losses: thousands are dead or injured, nearly half a million were displaced, over 110,000 are still homeless, and billions of dollars of damage has been done. All this is against the backdrop of 66 years of displacement and dispossession, 47 years of military occupation, decades of travel restrictions, and a seven-year blockade, which has crippled the economy and shattered livelihoods. Two of every three people in Gaza were receiving food aid war prior to the recent assault. Poverty rates were up to 39 percent and unemployment had hit 45 percent. Through the latest assault, which began on July 7, 2014, the Israeli military has once again wrought wholescale damage and destruction to Gaza, surpassing even the aftermath of the December 2008 assault. During the 51-day assault, at least 2,145 people killed and over 11,200 were injured. At least 142 Palestinian families lost three or more members, while 1,500 children lost one or both parents. More children have suffered than ever: at least 581 children were killed. Over 3,436 children were injured, leaving many permanently disabled 1. One in four Palestinians in Gaza was forced to flee, and over 60,000 houses were damage or destroyed. Infrastructure and public utilities were severely damaged, including Gaza s only power plant, its water facilities, sanitation, electricity, telecommunication networks, and transportation. Israeli military strikes destroyed government and UN facilities, municipal centers, and public utilities, impeding the provision of basic services to Gaza s 1.8 million inhabitants. The local economy has almost completely collapsed, after the destruction of an unprecedented number of private sector assets and damage to agricultural land and fishing facilities. During the assault, up to 71 percent of the population became food insecure, as prices of basic foodstuff soared by 40 to 179 percent. After seven weeks of assault, most Palestinians in Gaza can no longer meet their most basic needs: earning a livelihood is almost impossible. Immediate relief is already underway, provided by Government ministries and local and international agencies. The UN Office for the Coordination of Humanitarian Affairs (OCHA) has issued two funding appeals for a combined $563 million. The requested funds are supporting 47 humanitarian actors in providing immediate relief until December But humanitarian assistance is just the first phase in the longer effort to help Palestinians in Gaza recover quickly and build back better. The National Consensus Government has developed this Palestinian National Early Recovery and Reconstruction Plan, in coordination with UN agencies, civil society, and the private sector, to provide a roadmap through the current humanitarian crisis to long-term development. Building on the larger Palestinian National Development Plan, this Plan formulates responses to diverse and urgent sectoral needs to secure the foundation for a prosperous Gaza. Prior to the publication of this Plan, the Government began its Bridging to Recovery Initiative, through which it initiated key priority interventions from the Plan in response to critical needs in Gaza. Securing a stable future requires an end to this destruction and reconstruction cycle. The siege must be permanently lifted and normal movement of people, trade and economic activity must be restored. It is imperative to ensure that the current recovery and reconstruction leads Gaza onto a sustainable and permanent upward trajectory. 1 Data on fatalities and casualties are based on preliminary information (as of September 4, 2014) and may change.

17 The National Consensus Government: Priority Agenda The recent Israeli assault started five weeks after the formation of a National Consensus Government the first government to administer in both the West Bank and Gaza since Formed as a result of President Mahmoud Abbas successful efforts to achieve national reconciliation, this Government aims to institutionally, legally, economically, and socially reintegrate Gaza and the West Bank, as a step towards achieving the aim of an independent and vibrant Palestinian state, with East Jerusalem as its capital. Upon its inception on June 2, 2014, the National Consensus Government was met with strong popular Palestinian support and welcomed by key international stakeholders, including all the Quartet members: the United States, the European Union, Russia and the United Nations. However, Israel expressed immediate and continued opposition to the National Consensus Government. It significantly limited the new Government s ability to effectively oversee the rehabilitation and integration of the ministries and national institutions, including by preventing the movement of Government members between the West Bank and Gaza Institutional and Legal Agenda Coupled with external challenges caused by the Israeli occupation, the new Government must address complex internal governance tasks, including the complex harmonization of national institutions, civil services, and legal systems. Following seven years of political separation, the full harmonization of Government institutions, civil service, and legal systems between Gaza and West Bank is a historical opportunity that will take time to realize. The overall objective of the Government is to reunite the body politic and strengthen state institutions through the implementation of the reconciliation agreement, with the aim of ensuring a unified Palestinian government effectively governing both Gaza and the West Bank. At the center of the effort to reunify and harmonize institutions is the issue of pre-2007 employees and the post-2007 staff engaged by the then de facto authority in Gaza. This issue has to be addressed in the short-term while ensuring that the Government is able to function in Gaza and carry out recovery and reconstruction efforts, and without undermining the introducing of a plan for the rationalization of civil service in Gaza and capacity development in the medium-long term. The resolution of these issues is further complicated by external legal challenges and the dire economic situation, in particular the inability of the economy to generate jobs under current circumstances. Establishing and maintaining law and order under the Government authority requires arrangements in the immediate and short-term for controlling the border crossings; harmonizing the police force; and increasing support to civil defense in response to early recovery efforts. In the medium-long term, security sector reform is essential to ensure the integration of the security forces under a clear command structure, along with capacity-building. The third major priority is the reintroduction of a unified justice system in Gaza by addressing the status of applicable laws, effect of legal decisions, and reunification of the court system, while continuing the process that was begun prior to 2007 of unifying the different laws, resulting from historic separation and different legal systems between the West Bank and Gaza Economic and Fiscal Agenda The reversal of long term economic deterioration in Palestine, but especially in Gaza, is critical. The Palestinian economy has been strangled by ongoing restrictions and a highly uncertain political outlook. This has been felt even more acutely in recent years as a result of falling foreign aid levels. Growth fell to 1.9 percent in 2013 and is forecast to be negligible in Since this is below the average population growth of 3 percent, Palestinians are seeing their GDP per capita decline. This economic picture is even more startling when looking at Gaza, where repeated military assaults have time and again destroyed economic infrastructure and paralyzed economic activity. The impact has been compounded by the severe economic shock produced by the seven-year blockade on exports and imports, which has prevented movement of goods and people

18 16 The National Early Recovery and Reconstruction Plan for Gaza 2014 SECTION 1: Setting the Context between the West Bank and Gaza and all but eliminated Gaza s export focused private sector. Today, only small shipments of selected products are permitted to other markets through donor-supported projects. The result is that real GDP per capita in Gaza has stayed largely stagnant since 1994, whilst real GDP per capita in the West Bank has more than doubled. Gaza s contribution to Palestine s total GDP has shrunk, from over a third in the mid-1990s to a quarter now. Pre-assault unemployment hit a staggering 45 percent, as compared to 16 percent in the West Bank, and was high as 70 percent amongst Gaza s youth. Before the latest assault, poverty stood at 38 percent, close to double the level of the West Bank. A further 30,000 households are estimated to have fallen into poverty as a result of the latest assault. In this context, Gaza s recovery and reconstruction must address not only the immediate economic impact of the assault but also the preexisting structural challenges inhibiting Gaza s development. Yet, the Government s room for maneuver to address these issues directly is limited. Despite fiscal reforms and improvements, the Government remains reliant on donor support to meet the budget deficit and fund development projects. Additional spending for recovery and reconstruction will put significant fiscal pressure on the budget, at a time when donor flows have been steadily declining, falling by 30 percent since However, since revenues from Gaza in the short term will not be able to meet more than a small fraction of the additional expenditure in 2013, only 3 percent of total Government revenues were collected in Gaza, as compared to 43 percent of budget expenditures there - the Government has no option but to look to its partners to support the recovery and reconstruction effort.

19 The Vision for Gaza: Integration and Economic Development Gaza is an integral part of the Palestinian state and its gate to the Mediterranean. Its development is crucial for the viability of the State of Palestine and for the two-state solution. There is no doubt that the success of the National Consensus Government in the reconstruction of Gaza is key to ensuring the stability of Gaza, Palestine, and the region. Through this Plan, the Government will take - and lead - a series of measures to uphold its responsibility towards Gaza and its residents and ensure rapid improvements to their lives, by working on multiple paths, in cooperation with partners in civil society, the private sector, and donors, while maintaining national ownership. Addressing the humanitarian crisis in Gaza is the first step towards reconstruction and in enabling the population to live in dignity. Although the material damage can be repaired, the widespread loss of human life as a result of the assault will be suffered by generations to come. The Government s goal is not simply to alleviate the suffering of citizens and repair the physical damage, but also to make substantive improvements in the economic and social situation of Gaza residents, particularly by dealing with the chronic problems of poverty and unemployment. It is neither sufficient nor acceptable to return to the status quo prior to the July/August assault. This would be tantamount to buying time until the next assault and crisis. Rather, the economy in Gaza must be put on an upward trajectory to achieve development, prosperity, and a dignified life for its population. Accordingly, this Plan is not aimed to put out fires. Rather, it is the beginning of sustainable development of Gaza, as part of the larger national plan to return the State of Palestine to its rightful political and developmental track. Developing for the Future: Beyond Reconstruction At least $7 billion is required as additional investment to meet long-term development needs. Most of this will be driven by the private sector. Keystone infrastructure development projects include: The Gaza Marine gas project The international airport The commercial seaport A large scale desalination plant A north-south water carrier Waste water treatment plants Significant investment is also required to address the existing infrastructure deficit arising from the blockade, including 75,000 housing units, over 270 schools, and two new hospitals. These projects are not budgeted in the reconstruction plan but will be critical for a thriving Gaza.

20 18 The National Early Recovery and Reconstruction Plan for Gaza 2014 SECTION 1: Setting the Context The vision of this Government is a Gaza that is fully integrated into the State of Palestine, politically, socially, and economically, and - through it - with the rest of the world. This vision assumes that local and international movement of goods and people is reliable and secure via two safe passages and a permanent territorial link, facilitating increased tourism and a thriving private sector. Looking beyond the immediate recovery and reconstruction effort, further priority infrastructure projects will be required to address the public and private deficit that has resulted from the blockade and to catalyze Gaza s potential to contribute to Palestinian economic growth. Substantial additional investment is required to provide the infrastructural and economic foundation for Gaza and Palestine - to thrive. Under this vision, in five years, a reconstructed Gaza will be open for business, fully engaged with the West Bank economy, and attracting international investment and tourism. In ten years, Gaza will be a rapidly growing, export-oriented economy, with increased trade and domestic prosperity and reduced aid dependency.
