Gaza City workers make rounds by bicycle
In one municipality in the Gaza Strip, where municipal services suffer from a lack of vehicles, sanitation inspectors are getting around on bicycles in an already popular project that is likely to spread.
GAZA CITY, Gaza Strip — The municipality of Gaza — one of the largest in the Gaza Strip — took a new step to address the eight-year-long Israeli siege that greatly affected the work of all service sectors. The municipality’s officials worked for several months to overcome the lack of cars for use during municipal work, and found a solution: bicycles.
The project, welcomed by Gazans and environmental institutions, is only just the beginning. Its organizers are waiting for financial support from donors to reproduce in other Gaza municipalities.
