Unprecedented destruction in the Gaza Strip and tens of thousands of housing units destroyed

The Undersecretary of the Palestinian Ministry of Works in Gaza spoke about the extent of the devastation caused by the Israeli bombing of the Strip. 

The following are the most prominent of his statements to Al Jazeera:

 The scale of destruction is very widespread and unprecedented compared to the 2014 aggression. 

Work on the only power plant in Gaza stopped. 

The power outage led to the cessation of work at the water desalination plant and wells. 

10,500 housing units were completely destroyed. The damage included infrastructure, especially water, sewage, and communications. 

IDP shelters lack the minimum basic services.
