According to the assessment issued on Tuesday by the UN, the European Union and the World Bank, over $ 50 billion will be required to rebuild Gaza after an Israel's 15-month campaign against Hamas against Hamas.
. Temporary quick damage and assessment of needs (Irdna) said that USD 53.2 billion is needed for recovery and reconstruction over the next 10 years, and $ 20 billion needed in the first three.
The destructive military campaign of Israel in Gaza began in response to the attack led by Hamas of October 7, 2023, in which 1,200 people were killed and over 250 took hostages, according to Israeli heights. The later operation of Israel killed over 48,000 people, according to Gaza Health officials, displaced 1.9 million people and left the enclave in ruins.
There are years of reconstruction, including removal of unexploded bomb and millions of tons of debris.
The report, issued among the delicate suspension of the weapon, which began last month, warned that the conditions were not yet on the spot to start recovering and large -scale reconstruction, taking into account the lack of clarity as to how the enclave would work after the war and What security, what safety will work would be in place.
“The speed, scale and scope of recovery will be shaped in these conditions,” said the report.
Housing and infrastructure half of the reconstruction costs
Irdna said that over 292,000 houses were destroyed or damaged, and 95 percent of hospitals were not functional, while the local economy arranged for 83 percent.
He would say that more than half of the total estimated cost of reconstruction or USD 29.9 billion would be obliged to repair the damage to buildings and other infrastructure, including apartments that would require around $ 15.2 billion for reconstruction, he said.
Another $ 19.1 billion US would be needed to compensate for social and economic losses, including health, education, trade and industry sectors, devastated in conflict.
“The needs of recovery and reconstruction identified in this report are huge,” says the report. “Financing will require a wide coalition of donors, various financial instruments, private sector resources and a significant improvement in the supply of reconstruction materials to gases in the period after the conflict.”
On Tuesday, some construction equipment was also allowed to the Rafah crossing, crucial for the progress of purification.
Mobile houses for gases, whose houses were destroyed and have no shelter in winter weather, also sat on trucks at the crossing on Tuesday, ready to enter the enclave. The Israeli official said that Israel would start bringing them to Gaza.
Hamas accused Israel of delaying the delivery of these mobile houses and threatened to postpone the release of hostages until the problem is solved.
Restoring services are the original step
The first priority, as stated, will be social services such as health and education, as well as basic services in water, telecommunications and energy sectors.
When debris is removed, special care should be taken when the bodies appear under damaged houses and buildings, the report added. Palestinian health authorities estimate that up to 10,000 people are buried under the remains of gas.
The report estimates that Gaza's economy will also have to be rebuilt – the enclave contribution to the overall Palestinian economy has dropped to three percent in 2024, despite the fact that the gas belt is 40 percent of the Palestinian population in Palestinian territories.

The bombing of Israel has left a significant part of Gaza in ruins, and now President Donald Trump proposes the United States that should take over the enclave – without the right to return for Palestinians. We discuss what will take up the rebuilding of gauze, from tense policy to pure logistics of fighting with such great destruction.
The assessment was carried out in coordination with the Palestinian authorities, which supervises the occupied west shore. He also analyzed the effects of spilling on the west bank between October 2023 to October 2024 and stated that the West Bank suffered increased violence during this period in the form of settlement violence and increasing Israeli military roadsts to residential areas.
Housing damages on the west bank were estimated at around $ 16 million, while damage to healthcare infrastructure in the west shore amounted to $ 14.6 million.
