The Gaza Municipality said that the Israeli occupation army has destroyed about one million square meters of roads and streets in Gaza City since the beginning of its aggression and genocidal war against civilians and service facilities in the city.

The municipality said in a statement on Tuesday, “the destruction in the city’s streets and roads is unprecedented, as paved roads and streets, islands, sidewalks, traffic signals, and various related facilities were targeted by Israeli airstrikes or leveled by military bulldozers.”

The statement explained that the Israeli occupation army targeted and destroyed about 3,600 traffic signals and signs, 260,000 meters of front stones and sidewalks, and 160,000 linear meters of lighting networks and lanterns. Unpaved roads were also destroyed either by being leveled by bulldozers or affected by the destruction of residential buildings, shops, and other facilities, it added.

The municipality called on the international community and organizations to quickly intervene to help rebuild the streets and restore civil and human life to the city of Gaza, which has been subjected to a war of extermination aimed at killing the human life in the city.
