Airport Clean Up Project Completed
JumpStart International has completed the debris clearance project at Yasser Arafat International Airport.
Work crews were employed for 12 weeks as part of JumpStart’s employment generation program. In an effort to raise interest in the rehabilitation of Gaza’s only commercial airport, workers began clearing hundreds of tons of debris from inside the damaged terminal buildings.
