With a fragile ceasefire between Israel and Hamas in effect, many questions about the reconstruction of the Gaza Strip remain. It may take decades, not years, to rebuild Gaza due to the massive destruction, an expert from the Brookings Institute told ABC News.
Under the ceasefire agreement, the Gaza Strip is set to be redeveloped for the Palestinian people. Jaco Cilliers, an official from United Nations Development Programme, said at a press conference on Tuesday that it had already cleared some 81,000 tons of rubble from the Gaza Strip and was continuing to do so.
However, it is unclear when reconstruction will begin and who will finance the effort, the Brookings Institute expert, Hady Amr, told ABC News.
Sanction Israel. Force them to pay reparations to rebuild all infra destroyed, and ban Israeli contractors from all any involvement.
They won’t though, because we live in corporate dictatorships that exist to serve and protect capital.
The real problem is that it will be rebuilt and settled by Israel.
Cost $70b?
Sounds like it was a good investment for the profiteering recipients of that $70b.
And you can’t bring back the thousands that are dead. And the war is not really over. This massacre continues.
Incredibly sad for Gaza. The war will not be forgotten.
It will be forgotten, and those responsible will not face consequences, they will even become filthy rich.
Please, PLEASE prove me wrong
Pppft, easy peasy, just use tax payer money to subsidize a private enterprise owned by a Trump subsidiary and it will get rebuilt and repurposed and gilded in two years max!
What’s will is there are several individual people who could fund that but they won’t.
Removed by mod
Israel heavily restricted imports of construction material especially concrete before the war. Even if you can recycle the destroyed concrete and get some material back to make new stuff there will be a huge shortage of building material.
You can absolutely recycle concrete and get close to 99% back.
However, it needs a lot of energy and heavy machinery, things unlikely to be allowed into Gaza.
So two Venezuelas 🤑
