GAZA (AA) - September 4, 2012 - The Turkish International Cooperation and Coordination Agency (TIKA) put a water treatment plant into service in Gaza on Tuesday.
United Nations Relief and Work Agency for Palestine Refugees, Turkish Red Crescent officials and TIKA's Palestine Coordinator Kursat Mahmat attended the inauguration ceremony in Gaza.
Speaking at the ceremony, Mamat said that water and waste water projects were so pivotal for Gaza.
"We will continue to help Palestinian people in every field. In Gaza, water and waste water projects are very important, and in this context, we are conducting our projects in cooperation with municipalities near the coast. We are trying to seek solutions to people's needs in Gaza," said Mahmat.
Mahmat also said that blockade of the Gaza Strip by Israel restrains the development of water supply and sewage services in Gaza.
