Economic expert Omar Shaban said, in an interview with Al-Shams Radio, that the residents of the Gaza Strip truly feel an improvement in many living conditions and circumstances after the injection of Qatari aid and funds.

He added that citizens are now using electricity for 8 hours a day, after it had been available for 4 hours a day, which was completely insufficient and was a burden on many aspects of daily life.

He noted that commercial activity and purchasing are now much better than they were in the past, expressing hope that conditions will improve further in the future.

He also pointed to another improvement experienced by employees after they received their salaries, and this constituted an improvement in the living conditions of their families.
