What happened
Israeli forces have destroyed institutions in the Gaza Strip, while the territory faces a systematic geographic siege. Most buildings in the enclave have been completely destroyed by Israeli airstrikes or bulldozed by Israeli forces, and reconstruction has not yet begun. Furthermore, Israel has refused to allow the Central Elections Commission access to the Gaza Strip and Jerusalem for legislative polls.
Why it matters
The ongoing destruction and siege operations severely impede reconstruction efforts and restrict aid entry into the Gaza Strip. Israeli policy dictates the structural status of the Gaza Strip, while the destruction of essential services increases the humanitarian burden on international bodies.
The Gaza Strip is currently facing the imposition of a systematic geographic siege, with extensive bulldozing and siege operations ongoing since October 2023.
