Al-Anjari said, in a speech at the ceremony, that 400 houses have been repaired and handed back to their Palestinian owners.

"We have commenced the construction of other 100 houses at a cost of USD 400 million, and plan to rebuilt 1,000 houses next year," he disclosed.

Furthermore, Al-Sultan Tower in Jabalia, repaired through Al-Rahma Charity funding, has been reopened, Al-Anjari added.
