Rafah border is tightened again, only 50 people per day are allowed to cross the border, Nur Ikhwan Abadi, MINA correspondent  in Gaza reported on Monday (24/6).

"Currently in Gaza, Rafah border is tightened, only 50 people per day are allowed to cross the border, the condition is exacerbated by the closure of nearly 90% tunnels connecting Gaza with Egypt," said Nur Ikhwan.

This condition has a huge impact to the people of Gaza, unavailability of food and building materials also make this condition more severe and has negative impact.

"The impact after the tunnels were closed seriously felt the people of Gaza, since early June, cement, iron, block, and other building equipment became rare goods. This stopped the development process in Gaza, " Nur Ikhwan said.

When Nur Ikhwan was asked about the development at Hospital of Indonesia (RSI) in Gaza, Nur Ikhwan said the construction is still going on until now. "Builders of RSI continue to run. We still have stock of building materials”.

The results are limited building materials such as cement, iron and block in Gaza. "The price of building materials rise dramatically," Nur Ikhwan added.

"For cement, the price is normally 400 shekels now becomes 700 shekels, and it is difficult to find cement,” Nur Ikhwan added who is also a manager construction of RSI in Gaza,

Today is supposed to continue the installation of bathroom ceramic on second floor. "But I had to stop it because there is no cement, and moved to the 2nd floor," he said when confirmed  by MINA.

Nur Ikhwan said Gaza has been blockaded since a few years ago and it’s condition is never stable. According to him, the people of Gaza can enjoy his life with sufficiency, but suddenly could not eat anything when the blockade and tunnel closure was happening.
