This is part of the solid waste primary collection and transfer project in the southern areas, which is implemented through UNDP/PAPP by private sector and under the supervision of the JSC KRM. Additionally, regular maintenance of the JSC KRM fleet is carried out at a rate of 20 vehicles per month, that used for solid waste collection and transferring, to ensure the continuity of services despite the current conditions.The JSC KRM, in collaboration with international donors and local partners, is working diligently to alleviate the hardships faced by IDPs in the southern governorates despite the limited resources and capacities due to the high volume of waste generated daily in southern Gaza and the inability to access the main Fukhari landfill.Photos: UNDP/PAPP image bank
