Gaza reconstruction faces unprecedented challenges amid massive destruction

The northern part of Gaza, particularly Gaza City, has been severely damaged, with over half of the Strip’s debris concentrated there.

Rebuilding the region will require a comprehensive overhaul of its infrastructure and a political resolution, Caliber.Az reports via Bloomberg.

Before reconstruction can begin, the removal and disposal of massive amounts of rubble is crucial, but it is complicated by property rights issues and the difficulty of finding disposal sites.

The cost of rebuilding could exceed $80 billion, factoring in the long-term impact on the labor market. International donors are hesitant to contribute without a clear political solution, and the scale of destruction has led to widespread displacement.

The Palestinian Authority is preparing a plan to clear the rubble and begin rebuilding, but the process will be long, costly, and fraught with challenges.
