Economic expert Omar Shaban said, during an interview with Radio Al-Shams, that residents of the Gaza Strip truly feel an improvement in many living conditions and circumstances after Qatari aid and funds were pumped in.
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 absolutely insufficient and was a burden on many vital services.
He noted that commercial activity and purchasing activity are now much better than they were previously, 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.
