DEVELOPING: Gaza Rebuilding Efforts Face Catastrophic Setback Amid Devastating Destruction.

BREAKING NEWS Gaza Rebuilding Efforts Face Catastrophic Setback Amid Devastating Destruction The United Nations estimates that the damage to Gaza's infrastructure amounts to $70 billion, with assessments suggesting over 60 million tonnes of debris waiting to be cleared. Thousands of Gazans have returned to their neighborhoods only to find their homes in ruins. The level of destruction is staggering, with some areas reaching up to 92% devastation. According to Prof Andreas Krieg, a Middle East security expert from King's College London, "It's worse than starting from scratch - here you aren't starting in the sand, you are starting with rubble." The scale of the destruction is immense, with entire neighborhoods reduced to rubble. The UN Development Programme special representative for the Palestinians, Jaco Cilliers, notes that certain parts of Gaza City have been hit particularly hard. As rebuilding efforts begin, experts warn that it will be a long and arduous process. "Any process of post-conflict reconstruction must take into account the sheer scale of destruction," says Krieg. The international community is expected to play a key role in supporting Gaza's rebuilding efforts. However, the timeline for recovery remains uncertain. This is a developing story.
