According to a recent U.N. report, the reconstruction of homes in the Gaza Strip, devastated by nearly seven months of Israeli bombardment and ground offensives, could extend into the next century if the current pace of rebuilding continues. The report, discussed by UN Development Programme Administrator Achim Steiner, highlights that even with an optimistic increase in the allowance of construction materials, the rebuilding process would still take until 2040. This projection underscores the unprecedented scale of destruction in Gaza, likened by the U.N. to the devastation seen during World War II.
