A Jordanian delegation of housing contractors and investors will depart for Gaza to see what they can do for Gaza's reconstruction following Israel's massive offensive against the enclave, local daily The Jordan Times reported on Friday.
President of Jordan Construction Contractors Association Dirar Sarayreh was quoted as saying that the visit seeks to assess the scale of destruction caused by the Israeli aggression on Gaza and determine how to help rebuild what the Israelis have destroyed.
"We do not have any clear or ready plans yet. We rely on the assessment following the visit," Sarayreh said.
Meanwhile, the Society of Investors in the Housing Sector has established a fund to participate in reconstruction efforts during the Israeli attacks on Gaza.
"In addition to financial aid, we will contribute construction machinery and materials as well as expertise and engineers," said Zuhair Omari, president of the society.
He added that a housing company has offered to build an orphanage for children who lost their parents during the war, which killed at least 1,400, injured some 5,500 and destroyed around 4,000 houses.
Israel's three-week offensive against Gaza has caused huge damage to the infrastructure and facilities in the enclave.
