Some Palestinians lined up to cast their vote inside tents in the first elections held in part of Gaza for more than two decades. ⁣
⁣
Elections have been taking place in Deir al-Balah in central Gaza and across the occupied West Bank.⁣
⁣
More than 70,000 people were eligible to vote for the municipal government in Deir al-Balah, a central city in Gaza that has been damaged by Israeli airstrikes. ⁣
⁣
Across the Palestinian territories, more than a million voters were eligible to take part, according to the Ramallah-based Central Elections Commission.⁣
 ⁣
Officials said the single-vote is a largely symbolic “pilot” part of an effort to politically link Gaza and the occupied West Bank. ⁣
⁣
Voting will determine the makeup of the local councils tasked with overseeing water, roads and electricity. ⁣
