Here, Anas Abu Samhan interviews Alnabih about the situation in Gaza City and future reconstruction of Gaza. Destroying Gaza City is part of a strategy not just to occupy territory but to erase Gaza’s civic life. Water is life, and Gaza’s water has been weaponized. 70% of Gaza’s sewage pumping stations and wastewater treatment plants have been destroyed or disabled. You’ve challenged reports claiming Gaza’s reconstruction could take decades, arguing that with open borders and restored commercial movement, Gazans could rebuild much faster if given responsibility.
