UN report assesses rebuilding Gaza after recent fighting to cost $485 million
|
 [IsraelTimes] Damage assessment finds there was $380 million in physical damage and an additional $190 million in economic losses; Israel called on to upgrade border crossing.
Does that include replenishing the rocket supply?
A UN report released Tuesday found that it will cost an initial $485 million to repair the damage caused in the Gazoo
...Hellhole adjunct to Israel and Egypt's Sinai Peninsula, inhabited by Gazooks. The place was acquired in the wake of the 1967 War and then presented to Paleostinian control in 2006 by Ariel Sharon, who had entered his dotage.

According to the Rapid Damage and Needs Assessment, the fighting caused up to $380 million in physical damage and an additional $190 million in economic losses.
It said that during the first 24 months recovery needs will amount to $485 million.
A "quick to short-term recovery will depend on financial support, including from donors, as well as Israel’s cooperation to expedite access to materials and equipment intended for civilian purposes," the statement said.
Sustaining recovery demands that the Paleostinian Authority build a "sustainable governance system." However,

the Hamas, one of the armed feet of the Moslem Brüderbund millipede, terror group ousted the Paleostinian Authority from Gaza in 2007 and repeated attempts at mediating between them have failed.
The report also called on Israel to upgrade the border crossing at Kerem Shalom.
Israel and Egypt have maintained a blockade on Gaza since Hamas took power in a bid to stop the smuggling of arms and of materials used to make rockets and other weapons and construct fortifications.

s against terror targets. The fighting ended with an Egypt-mediated ceasefire but not before 13 people were killed in Israel and over 240 in Gaza. The Israeli army said most of those killed in Gaza were terror combatants.

, in "close cooperation" with the Paleostinian Authority and "in consultation with the civil society and private sector in Gaza."
"This is yet another unfortunate episode in which the Paleostinian people in Gaza saw themselves in the midst of conflict and destruction," said Kanthan Shankar, World Bank Country Director for West Bank and Gaza.
"The priorities focus on ensuring a return to some normality by rapidly providing relief, repairing priority damages to infrastructure, and reinstating essential services disrupted by the conflict, to be restored at least to pre-conflict levels, if not further," the statement said.
The report said the most critical recovery needs are to provide cash for around 45,000 people for food and non-food assistance as well as providing 20,000 full-time jobs for 12 months and prioritizing housing for those who lived in over 4,000 destroyed or partially damaged homes, among them 7,000 children.
Shankar said that Gaza’s gross domestic product could drop in 2021 from an estimated annual growth of 2.5 percent before the fighting to just 0.3%.
The report said that in Gaza there is 50% unemployment and more than half the population lives in poverty. In the wake of the conflict, 62% of the enclave’s population were left food insecure.
"The conflict significantly weakened livelihoods and the safety nets of the most vulnerable," the statement said.
"The cessation of hostilities reached last month has largely held but remains fragile," said Tor Wennesland, UN Special Coordinator for the Middle East Peace Process in the statement. "The UN is continuing its diplomatic engagements with all concerned parties to solidify the ceasefire."
Sven Kuhn von Burgsdorff, European Union Representative, urged that the civilian causalities and socio-economic impact are a reminder "that we must address the root causes of the conflict."
Gaza’s recovery "must be backed by a meaningful grinding of the peace processor that will bring security and dignity for all," he said and noted that "Paleostinian unity and democratic renewal through free and fair elections are as well of crucial importance."
The report emphasizes the importance of cooperating with the PA in reconstruction efforts in an implicit recognition that the Gaza-ruling Hamas terror organization should not be part of the process. But the Islamist movement is not mentioned by name in the 72-page report.
The US has pledged to help coordinate Gaza reconstruction as well, while emphasizing that Hamas must not be allowed to benefit from such efforts.
State Department front man Ned Price said Tuesday that the US is "committed to seeing to it that the Paleostinian people receive that humanitarian relief, but we’re equally committed to ensuring that whether it’s — that certainly American aid does not in any way empower Hamas — empower Hamas financially, empower Hamas politically."
