Gaza area votes in first municipal election since 2006 amid war devastation

In Ramallah, the Central Election Commission has held a news conference on the results of Saturday's election in the occupied West Bank and in one area of Gaza.
The commission says turnout was significantly lower than average, especially in Gaza's Deir el-Balah, where it was the lowest across the electoral map.
The municipal vote was the first in any part of Gaza in more than two decades.

Al Jazeera’s Tareq Abu Azzoum reports from Deir el-Balah in central Gaza, Palestine.
