Large areas of the neighborhoods of Tel Al-Sultan, Al-Saudi, and the Western Camp were also destroyed, and more than 60% of the Al-Shaboura Camp was destroyed.

He pointed out that these are preliminary estimates and will be re-examined after the occupation withdraws from the city’s neighborhoods.

He sa
id: The Rafah Municipality Administration is working to communicate with Arab and international donor agencies to quickly begin rebuilding the infrastructure and destroyed homes after the end of the aggression.
