<p>The Gaza Reconstruction Mechanism (GRM) has been successful in importing construction
materials to facilitate the reconstruction of buildings damaged during the 2014 conflict.
Over 170,000 people have been able to carry out repairs and over 14,000 fully or partially
damaged homes have been rebuilt. UN reports assess that the GRM has been less successful
in facilitating the import of other “dual-use” materials; and that it is critical
that the import of more “dual-use” items is simplified and expedited in order to facilitate
larger infrastructure projects. A more comprehensive lifting of restrictions on materials
entering Gaza, as part of a political agreement, is the only long-term solution.</p>
