The economic cost of rebuilding Gaza after the devastating war is estimated to be substantial, with a total cost ranging from $970 million for debris removal to as much as $80 billion for reconstruction. This massive need stems from the fact that two-thirds of the territory has been destroyed or damaged, affecting 2.1 million people.
We welcome this news with great relief, but also with sorrow that it has come too late for those who have died in the conflict.
If both sides are committed to a cease-fire, it should start immediately.
This is the third time in less than six years that together with the people of Gaza, we have been forced to confront a reconstruction effort.
We need a rapid, unhindered and safe access to expedite the flow of aid into and across Gaza.
In Gaza, we all know the destruction is so massive. I have never seen that anywhere else in my life.
What is critical though is that the significant security the political obstacles to delivering aid across Gaza are removed.
So, let the healing begin, not just for Gaza, but for Israel as well. This is in everyone's best interest.
