More than 42 million tons of rubble are scattered across the region, and clearing it alone would take at least 10 months at a cost of up to $1.2 billion. With Gaza&#8217;s GDP plummeting by more than 80% last year, local funding for reconstruction seems impossible, leaving the region entirely dependent on external support.<\/p>\n<p>Rebuilding homes, hospitals, and destroyed infrastructure demands extraordinary efforts, with health sector reconstruction alone expected to require around $15 billion to restore basic services.
