What happened
The Board of Peace presented a six-month recovery program for the Gaza Strip with an estimated cost of $2.45 billion, covering 66 projects across six key areas, including infrastructure and economic acceleration. The program, which was drawn up under a UN Security Council mandate, is currently stalled because funding, access, and security conditions remain unresolved. Disputes over Hamas disarmament and Israeli withdrawal threaten to keep the reconstruction on hold.
