Alaa Al-Batta

Alaa Al-Batta is the Deputy Head of the Union of Municipalities in the Gaza Strip. He has recently been in the news for highlighting the critical situation faced by municipalities in Gaza, where they are struggling to manage 700,000 tons of accumulated waste due to severe shortages of fuel and equipment, exacerbated by the destruction from ongoing conflicts. Al-Batta's statements emphasize the dire challenges local authorities face in providing essential services to civilians and displaced persons in the aftermath of significant infrastructural damage.
