A UN agency reported that the Israeli onslaught in Gaza has left most of the buildings damaged or destroyed and caused a massive economic collapse. The agency said the rebuilding will cost $70 billion and take decades.
The United Nations Conference on Trade and Development (UNCTAD) reported that 70% of buildings in Gaza have been damaged or destroyed over the past two years. The Israeli war on Gaza has resulted in an “economic crisis among the ten worst globally since 1960.”
The UN’s children’s agency (UNICEF) reported that nearly every school in Gaza has been destroyed.”A total of 97% of school buildings in Gaza have been totally destroyed as a result of the war in the enclave,” the Al Jazeera television channel quoted him as saying. “More than 670,000 schoolchildren have been deprived of the possibility to attend classes over the past two years.”
