Gaza / Information Office / February 21

HE Chairman of Qatar's Gaza Reconstruction Committee Ambassador Mohammed Al Emadi announced Friday the postponement of monthly installments payments for beneficiaries from the His Highness Sheikh Hamad bin Khalifa City in Khan Yunis governorate in southern Gaza Strip for 2020.

Ambassador Al Emadi responded to the requests made by residents of the city, in light of the difficult economic conditions the people of Gaza are going through, which prompted them to request delaying the payment of installments.

His Excellency said that the social research conducted by the Housing and Works Ministry in Gaza will determine the rate of monthly installments exemption for the beneficiaries, noting that while some families will be partially exempted, the poorest families according to the ministry will be fully exempted from the payment, in light of the difficult economic conditions the residents are facing.

This is the third time that HE the ambassador announces the payment exemption for residents of Hamad City. They did not pay any installments in 2018 and 2019.
