What happened

Well supportedReported by 18 independent outlets

A United Nations Secretary-General report warned of severe economic and social repercussions resulting from the Israeli occupation of the Palestinian Territory. The report found that Gaza's GDP contracted by 84% in 2025 compared with 2023, and estimated reconstruction needs at $71.4 billion over the next decade. Separately, a report by B'Tselem stated that Israel is systematically intensifying attacks by soldiers and settlers to eliminate living conditions for Palestinians in the West Bank.

The report highlights that the conflict has set back human development in Gaza by an estimated 77 years. Furthermore, B'Tselem reported that intensified restrictions affect Palestinians' ability to access routine services, including work, medical treatment, and education.
