Since 2007, after the election victory of the Palestinian Hamas movement in the Gaza Strip, Israel imposed an all-encompassing economic embargo on the territory. Restrictions concerned the supply of fuel, electricity, food. To survive in such difficult conditions in the Gaza Strip have been taken a number of measures. Great attention is paid to the collection of recyclable materials and its processing. For example, wood waste, wood pieces processed in a coal-fired housing and on which food is prepared.
