A United Nations study has estimated it will cost up to $600 million for a fleet of 100 lorries to clear the rubble left by Israel’s devastating campaign in the Gaza Strip, before a full reconstruction of the area can fully begin.
The UN Environment Programme believes 137,297 buildings had been damaged in Gaza, more than half of the total, while up to 1,235 acres of landfill sites could be needed to accommodate the waste, depending on what could be recycled.
The project to completely rebuild infrastructure will cost upwards of $40 billion. (Press Release)
