The Gaza Reconstruction Mechanism (GRM) was supposed to be the internationally endorsed procedure for the vital reconstruction of built environment in Palestine’s Gaza Strip after the most recent Israeli war against the people of the territory last summer. However, one year on, the promise of reconstruction is largely unfulfilled and the GRM has emerged as yet another layer of repression and further violation of the individual and collective human rights of the Palestinian people in Gaza.
This perception is summarized in a recent fact sheet produced by the local Maan Development Center. Read how the GRM has come to function as an integral component of Israel’s blockade of the Gaza Strip.
