There are encouraging preliminary signals from a number of countries - including the United States, European and Arab countries - about their readiness to provide funds for the reconstruction of the Gaza Strip, which is estimated at about $70 billion. This was reported by a representative of the United Nations Development Program (UNDP), quoted by “Reuters“, BTA reports.
“We already have many positive indications“, said Jako Cilliers during a press conference in Geneva, without specifying specific commitments.
According to him, the two-year military conflict between Israel and the Palestinian movement “Hamas“ has left behind at least 55 million tons of destruction and debris, making the reconstruction of Gaza one of the largest challenges in the region.
