Chairman Letter
In the name of God, the Most Gracious, the Most Merciful.
The Rafah Chamber of Commerce and Industry was born from the challenges faced by our private sector in the southern Gaza Strip. It serves as a genuine voice for merchants, industrialists, and investors, a platform to express their aspirations and hopes, and a shield to protect their interests and defend their rights.
Since its establishment in 2013, the Chamber has strived with unwavering determination to be a unifying force for business owners in Rafah Governorate. We work to empower them to overcome obstacles, enhance their capacity for growth and development, and actively participate in building a strong and resilient national economy.
Despite the exceptional circumstances our governorate is experiencing as a result of the siege and repeated wars, the Chamber has been and will remain at the forefront of reconstruction efforts, supporting damaged businesses, stimulating investment, and launching initiatives that contribute to restoring economic and social life in Rafah.
We are also working to develop the Chamber's services and modernize its administrative and technological infrastructure through digital transformation and streamlined procedures to provide better service to our valued members. We firmly believe that Rafah deserves to be a vibrant commercial hub and a model of resilience and determination to rebuild. We believe that our collective cooperation – the Chamber, the merchants, and official and community institutions – is the path to a better future for Rafah and its people, a future defined by work, leadership, and reconstruction.
May God grant us success.
