Gaza's recovery could take years

The United Nations has announced that the reconstruction of homes destroyed in the Gaza Strip after the war could take until 2040.

According to Sahab, the United Nations announced in a report on Thursday that the reconstruction of houses destroyed in the Gaza war could take many years, up to 2040.

The problem of rebuilding Gaza is one of the main challenges for the country and will be addressed even after the war is over. According to UN estimates, the reconstruction process in the Gaza Strip could cost more than $80 billion.

According to the UN report, clearing the rubble is one of the most difficult obstacles to rebuilding Gaza, especially considering that about 70 percent of the houses in the Gaza Strip are completely or partially destroyed, as well as hospitals, schools and other infrastructure. More than a million people have lost their homes as a result of the Israeli army's relentless attacks on the Gaza Strip.

Almost 90 percent of the Gaza Strip's health facilities have also been completely or partially destroyed, as have schools and infrastructure in the Gaza Strip, making it the largest region in the world to be engulfed in war.

According to research conducted by the California-based Rand Institute, reconstruction of the Gaza Strip will cost more than $80 billion, and more than $700 million will be needed to clear the rubble alone. According to the institute's report, the war in Gaza left behind about 42 million tons of debris.
