An interim report by the State Comptroller found that Gaza border communities located more than 7 kilometers from the border were suffering and in need of aid. The report criticized the government for not reviewing and deciding on an updated geographical boundary for state support, leading to a freeze on development funds for the region. The government was also criticized for leaving the Tekuma Directorate without a full-time director and deputy, impeding decision-making and solutions to problems. Delays in the completion of temporary housing sites and the lack of a national commemoration site were also highlighted in the report.
