Beit Hanoun Terminal Renovations Move Forward
Over the past few weeks JumpStart workers have been completing preliminary work on the interior of the Beit Hanoun terminal. Wall cracks have been repaired, wire mesh screening cleaned, restroom doors replaced, and faulty wiring removed.
With the preparatory phase of work complete, workers are now busy repairing the terminal roof. Roof panels made of corrugated tin have been badly damaged by Israeli gunfire. The length of the roof is a graphic display of the repeated bombardments sustained by the terminal during Israeli military activity in the area.
The destroyed panels are being removed and new panels installed.

In the coming weeks JumpStart workers will be busy restoring the plumbing and electrical facilities, installing new floor tiles and painting the interior of the terminal.
Restoring the Beit Hanoun terminal will not only improve access for people crossing to and from Gaza, but will establish a humane and sanitary environment, provide a positive image to those crossing, and generate employment and income for local residents.
