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.
Cost $70b?
Sounds like it was a good investment for the profiteering recipients of that $70b.
So two Venezuelas 🤑
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.
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.
The real problem is that it will be rebuilt and settled by Israel.
And you can’t bring back the thousands that are dead. And the war is not really over. This massacre continues.
The US gives around $8,000,000,000 annually to Israel.
Incredibly sad for Gaza. The war will not be forgotten.
What’s will is there are several individual people who could fund that but they won’t.
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!
