Gaza's Long Road to Recovery: A Century-Long Journey?

UN agencies warn that Gaza's recovery from the ongoing conflict could take centuries. A recent report suggests 350 years are required to regain its pre-war economy. With significant destruction, lifting economic restrictions and international support are critical for a quicker recovery.

Gaza's recovery from the devastating conflict with Israel could potentially take centuries, according to recent UN findings. A report estimates a staggering 350 years before its battered economy regains even its pre-war precarious stature.

The extensive damages, exacerbated by an ongoing blockade and political challenges, have resulted in massive displacement and infrastructural ruin, stretching recovery timelines to unprecedented lengths.

International cooperation, significant investment, and an end to economic restrictions are deemed essential yet elusive, with no clear end to the conflict in sight. The pathway to rebuilding remains deeply uncertain and fraught with hurdles.
