Standing on the rubble of his house,42-year-old Hasan Nijim said he is suffering an unendurable life after he lost his five-story-house during the 22-day war launched by Israel against Gaza in last December and January.

After the war, he and his seven children have been living in a tent between lagoons, destroyed cars and remains of demolished houses in the neighborhood of Al-Twam, north of Gaza.

Similar to the 1.5 million Palestinians in the coastal region, Nijim wishes that the new round of Palestinian internal dialogue, which kicked off in Cairo on Wednesday, would succeed and bring about the start of the reconstruction of Gaza, which will put an end to their suffering.

Delegations of the two rival Palestinian factions, Fatah and Hamas, arrived in Cairo on Tuesday to resume their talks in a bid to end the current split and achieve national reconciliation.

Hamas took over the Gaza Strip by force in 2006, driving its rival Fatah out of the region. The Palestinian territories were then ruled by two regimes with Hamas controls Gaza and Fatah dominates the West Bank.

After Hamas' violent took over of the strip, Israel, which views Hamas as a terrorist group, announced Gaza a hostile entity and put a tight siege on the coastal enclave.

Nijim said, "the reconstruction of Gaza will never be achieved but after an internal agreement which could end the division."

"Our life has been paralyzed, the national reconciliation would end our suffer and would speed up lifting the Israeli siege and the access of building materials as well as to push our life forward," said Nijim, who took refuge at a relative's house during the war.

Palestinians in Gaza urge both Fatah and Hamas to shoulder their responsibilities of the Palestinian people and to restore Gazans' life.

They call upon the two main-stream factions to work together to reconstruct the Gaza Strip after more than 1,400 Gazans were killed, 5,000 wounded and 16,000 residents left homeless during the Israeli offensive.

The latest round of reconciliation dialogue ended in Cairo in March without a final agreement, due to disagreements remained between the factions.

Commenting on the progress of the talks, Palestinians in Gaza did not hesitate to express their anger because of the attitudes of the two rival factions and the topics they have been arguing.

"We do not know what they are quarrelling over. People are suffering while they are still fighting for power," said Nihad Abu Samak, a construction material dealer.

He added, "Israel closes the crossings and bans the access of building materials into Gaza, our company is completely paralyzed, no more business, every thing is frozen."

Mahmoud Abdulal, another Gaza businessman who owns a glass store, said that the Israeli bombing smashed numerous windows and balconies in Gaza, and he received lots of orders asking him to fix their windows, but he can't get glass in Gaza.

"Even if you find some glass, the price will be eight times higher than usual," he said.

International donors have promised more than US$5 billion for the Palestinians to reconstruct Gaza, but the aid has become a complicated political issue as it could not be achieved without reconciliation between Palestinian factions.

The donors asserted that the international fund should not be given to Hamas which was classified by western countries as a "terrorist organization".

Officials of the Palestinian National Authority (PNA) stated that the efforts of reconstructing Gaza will be "threatened" if no solution is find to end the current division to form a Palestinian unity government accepted by the international community.

Yehia Rabah, a senior Fatah leader in Gaza said in an interview with Xinhua that "we know it well that the efforts of reconstruction can not start without the success of dialogue in Cairo."

Rabah emphasized that reconciliation should lead to the establishment of a national unity government with a platform universally accepted, "thus the siege will be lifted and it would be possible to deliver building materials to Gaza."

He added that the money of the donors will never reach Gaza without forming such a government, making it one of the essential results the dialogue should achieve.

The Fatah leader pointed out that the previous rounds of talks achieved nothing relevant to end the split, but actually broke the ice and built good wills, with some details also discussed.

Rabah said that it is very likely that the new round of dialogue would be critical and serious as the attitudes of the factions became clearer than before, and consequently, the delegations should accelerate the talks to reach reconciliation.

However, Hamas insists that Gaza reconstruction should be treated as a separate issue.

Fawzi Barhoum, spokesman for Hamas, told Xinhua that the issue of the reconstruction is a moral, humanitarian and legal issue and it "should be linked neither to political agendas nor to international and Arab political blackmailing".

He stressed that the doors of Gaza are open to anyone who would like to carry out the reconstruction, but there are some people trying to put this issue on a political aspect, which is unacceptable to Hamas.

Barhoum said that the international community should carry the responsibility of Gaza reconstruction without any pressure, politicization or blackmailing, adding that the Palestinian dialogue consists of several rounds of talks that have no time limits because the topics in the talks are "difficult and complicated".
